🎉 Happy Publication Day ⌚️ The 6:20 Man ✒️ David Baldacci . I have to admit that while I’m a huge fan of a couple of Baldacci’s series (Atlee Pine & John Puller), I just couldn’t get into the others. My interest in this one is really geared by the idea of this protagonist’s 9 to 5 grind, which basically is also my life (thanks, Financial lines!), until life threw a huge spanner in his way. This made a great thrilling read (but I don’t want that kind of spanner in my life, lol). Travis Devine is an easily likeable character. He’s highly intelligent and also physically capable man. And he wants truth and justice to prevail but sometimes, that just doesn’t happen in real life. Due to a misstep, he is now punishing himself and redemption seems far away especially when the past came back to haunt him. There is no choice for Devine now but to dive in and find the killers as well as deal with the underhanded world of Wall Street. He is definitely a hit with me. Baldacci definitely knows his craft and kept the pace tight yet the human interest of Devine and other characters were truly touching. I don’t think the whole mystery is quite wrapped up yet though I could be wrong but I think, I hope, that this is just a set up (a first book) for a series. I’d love to see Travis Devine again and hopefully, see him more settled in his role. My thanks to @macmillanaus for copy of book in exchange of my honest thought. #The620Man #DavidBaldacci #thriller #bookstagram #ausbookstagram #mystery #fiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CfVFZi0vDzn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
