Thriller
  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
It was a fun story, but felt too contrived. And knowing the villains ahead of time took any mystery away from the plot. ( )
  joyjannotti | Jan 22, 2024 |
The Whole Truth is a book that keeps its tense feeling from beginning to end. It is quite scary to realize that something like the premise of the book could really happen. Now that social media is so prevalent in our lives, it is difficult to know truth from fiction. Four stars were awarded to this book. It is a good story. ( )

New author for me and a good read. He writes the type of fiction I like ( )

FROM AMAZON: Matt, I need a war."

So begins David Baldacci's new book--a thriller unlike any he's written before. "Matt" is Mathew Pender, of Pender Associates--a shadowy organization that specializes in managing seemingly impossible situations for its clients. Sometimes, those services extend to managing--and creating--armed conflict. When Matt Pender is asked by his client--the largest defense contractor in the world--to manipulate two nations against each other, a shocking and surprising series of events are set in motion that will possibly bring the world to the brink of World War III.*

In this epic thriller with a global backdrop, David Baldacci delivers all the twists and turns, compelling characters, and can't-put-it-down pacing that readers have come to expect from this master storyteller. ( )
