Mallen does a good job giving insight into American social and family life from the mid 1800s to 1911, as well as Washington, D. C., during and after the Civil war. The book starts out slowly, but picks up speed when the main characters, Henry and Clara Rathbone have the unfortunate luck to be guests in President Abraham Lincoln’s box at the Ford Theatre the night he’s assassinated. Because Henry was blamed for not preventing the murder, he descended into madness and violence. Despite these events however, I felt the characters were flat and didn’t involve me emotionally—an interesting read, but not a great one.
I found Baldacci's new character, John Puller, an interesting one. Puller is a big guy, an ex-combat vet and current investigatory for the Army's CID. Called into West Virginia to investigate the death of a military family, Puller soon finds that not is all that it seems to be. Naturally, the first character you'd compare him to is Lee Child's Jack Reacher but consider Reacher in a class by himself. If this is turned into a series, I'll definitely read the next one.
