Book Reviews of The Winner
Book Review: Good story, but very implausible
Summary: 4 Stars
This was my third Baldacci book, and although I've enjoyed them all, I had to stretch a point to give this 4 stars. The plot was interesting if implausible, and judging by the reviews on Amazon and Amazon.com, I wonder if the effort to write a book with a woman as hero might have been a struggle for the author. Her martial arts skills and high body strength seemed more in the Jack Reacher mould than someone who cared so much for her little girl. I'm still a fan - some of the plot twists were completely unexpected, and the author had a lot of fun with the cunning and mysterious Mr Jackson, a very worthy villain. I read to the end but found myself thinking that Mr Baldacci has done better elsewhere.
