The 6:20 Man: The Number One Bestselling Richard and Judy Book Club Pick (Travis Devine 1)

Product Information

I always have high expectations when I open a Baldacci novel and I was not disappointed by this one. On the morning train, the route passes some of the country's most expensive and affluent small towns and enclaves of homes. It’s not just the possibility of being charged with murder that is hanging over him, there are several characters who seem to want something from him, to a point where it is hard to know just who to trust.

well, here's a spoiler) pivoted on a train that "stopped" (for no reason) at a place where the passengers could view a swimming pool in a luxury palatial home (why would anyone build a zillion dollar palace next to a train track? As the deaths pile up, and the major players show their hands, he must question who he can trust and who he must fight. And given that I zoomed through it (unplanned) in an evening, having an almost-midnight bedtime on a ‘school’ night, I expect other readers will (also) have the appetite for more… given the likeable lead we’re proffered via Travis Devine.

There has also been a progression in the development of control strategies that specify how these devices interact with participants. There’s all kinds of spanners thrown into the works that manage to create the necessary areas of doubt that ensure we, the readers, are slightly unsure who’s on Travis’ side and who may be working against him.

Definitely in the minority judging by other reviews but this was a DNF for me at 15%,I found both the writing and the main characters hard going and certain things odd ( people living in houses worth billions do not have a train line running past their mansions,certainly not close enough that the men can spy on a lady in her pool ) very cliched in places (sweet cheeks? Because money means power, and power can get you just about anywhere, so long as you don’t step in one of the dozens of minefields. Initially nothing makes sense to him, then a lot of coincidences are revealed which makes you smell a large nest of rats! the view was made possible because the owner had created an opening in the hedges so people could see a gorgeous woman in a bikini every morning.The 6:20 Man introduces a brand new character Travis Devine, a former Army Ranger now entry-level financial analyst at a prestigious Wall Street Investment Banking firm.
