A Minute to Midnight: 2 (Atlee Pine Thriller)

Product Information

This was clearly the right decision, as while this could’ve worked fine as a stand-alone, the revelations here feel important for the next book.

His books are published in over forty-five languages and in more than eighty countries, with 150 million copies sold worldwide.February 2020: I am still contemplating my review for this, the second book in the "Atlee Pine" series.

As they try to overcome their history and work together on the murder cases, Atlee continues to collect information on what happened to her family (with a little help from the very sympathetic FBI guys). When she was six years old, someone snuck into her bedroom, kidnapped her twin sister, and left her for dead. That seems like a lot of books, but the best part of them is that each character works in very different settings, and Baldacci definitely uses slightly different styles for each.As a woman, I find this obnoxious and I 100 % do not expect someone to bend 12-hour job for my needs - I either do the job or find one according to my needs. In this second story Atlee is still hung up over her sister’s disappearance almost thirty years ago. Their father is dead - a declared suicide - and their mother inexplicably took off for parts unknown to Atlee. This second book in the series expands on her story, but the actual case is interesting but descends into too farfetched areas as it proceeds. Ultimately, the murder of the week plot thread gets resolved and we make some progress on Atlee's past.

A Minute to Midnight is the second book in the FBI Agent Atlee Pine series, and this time the crime she's investigating hits a little too close to home. I am now waiting for the next in the series and hope it will not be long as there is a lot left in this storyline. As an FBI agent, she has never been comfortable in an urban environment or working in a team, she is a loner, which is why being the sole agent at Shattered Rock suits her so well.I found A Minute to Midnight by author David Baldacci an absolutely gripping page-turner and loved the female protagonist Atlee Pine’s kickass character.
