Book #6 in the Amos Decker series…Decker investigates the death of a municipal land surveyor and discovers a plot to expropriate properties for nefarious purposes 🤔

Although my attention was engaged throughout this novel I thought the PC overlay introducing a whole lot ofthe transgender issue to the novel was contrived. A good mystery doesn’t need to all encompassing in this woke manner.

3 1/2 - 4 stars. I'm a huge Baldacci fan and I love the Amos Decker/Memory Man series (this book is #6 in the series) but I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of the book and thought the end 1/4 was kind of contrived and lame to be honest. …

I am definitely a Baldacci series follower but this one? Serious misstep. Kind of muzzled my enthusiasm for the Decker/Jamison dynamic duo. Neither were interesting to me this go round ... more meandering and even a bit whiny. Maybe I…

As a big Baldacci fan, I am never disappointed. This book is no exception. A treat to see all Baldacci heroes in the same book. Great excitement from start to finish!

Super addition to the Amos Decker series. I haven't read the Wil Robie series but clearly I've been missing out on a good one and will be starting on it soon.
Amos seems to be losing some of his edge -- his "psychic" ability seems to…

Mixed bag. I like that the Memory Man is a developing character who grows and changes through the series. But, as mentioned by other reviewers, it also takes a bit away from the uniqueness of who he is. Also as mentioned, this plot…

Although the first part of the book seemed a slower pace than most Baldacci works, I loved how Baldacci brought two of his series together with Will Robbie's appearance, followed by Jessica and Blue Man. I enjoyed it and am now waiting on…

Whomever wrote this book should've done some research on "frackers", It's hard to get into a book with such crazy statements. No wonder so many people have misguided opinions about the oil industry

I had just read "Yellow Earth" by John Sayles when I picked up this novel. Both are about the fracking industry in North Dakota, the booms and busts that make a maelstrom of individual lives. Of the two, I prefer Sayles' novel, and by a…

Disappointed in the 'muddiness' of characters and plots in parallel throughout the book. Not the usual Baldacci I have read and enjoyed. It would have been better in 2 books.

Another great Memory Man novel but you need to pay close attention to this one! I agree with some critics thaqt this could have been two separate novels!
I have read all of Baldacci's books and loved most...This one is a far cry from any of his previous books. Is he asleep at the wheel or is someone else writing for him now, i.e., like Patterson.

A bit slow and convoluted. It drags on , through the middle part. Too many unnecessary characters, red herrings, and plot twists which seem to be there only as filler. Jamison seems a bit weak. Definitely not one of Baldacci's…

I was excited to read the newest Amos Decker and Alex Jamison book, 'Walk the Wire'. Then, Baldacci added Robie, Reel and Blue Man to what appeared to be an interesting case made more interesting by their appearance!
But, Decker himself…

I used to absolutely LOVE Mr. Baldacci's books. Sadly, not so much anymore. Walk the Wire is probably the most convoluted, implausible story I have read in a long time. There were so many inane plots that my eyes hurt from rolling them so…

My first thought: What does the title "Walk the Wire" have to do with this book? This was a typical Baldacci - a moderate length book but a really fast read. The main character, Amos Decker - a guy who had a football injury and now has…
