My review of The 6:20 Man
I'm a late comer to David Baldacci's novels. My first reads being the Atlee Pine series. This series was full of hard hitting action and compelling plots. A hard act to follow!
Subsequently I was a little disappointed in The 6:20 Man.
Travis Devine is an ex-Army Ranger now working a dead-end finance job at a top investment bank; a self imposed punishment for past sins.
When a close friend and fellow employee dies mysteriously Devine starts to investigate and becomes embroiled in a world of greed, power and murder.
I found none of the finance and technical talk interested me but I really enjoyed the descriptions of Manhattan and the diverse characters, especially German born white-hat hacker Will Valentine, these were probably the highlights of the book for me.
The plot starts off slow but does escalate in pace as the murders increase, the mystery intensifies and the twists keep coming.
You will need to suspend your disbelief to truly appreciate this action packed thriller set in the high finance world of Manhattan.
Now that Travis Devine has found a new calling I am keen to see where this will take him.
Going by other reviews, dedicated fans of Baldacci are loving The 6:20 Man. Are you a Baldacci fan? Did you love this book? Let me know what you thought? Maybe I was just expecting too much. 🤷
My rating 3 / 5 ⭐⭐⭐
