Title: True Blue
Author: David Baldacci
Reading Recommendation: mystery; decent long-drive audiobook
My Reflection:There was nothing special or notable about this book for me, but I enjoyed it. When my husband and I take a long car ride (often, since my family lives out of state) we download a book to listen to in the car. Usually we’re looking for a fantasy or a mystery that will keep us interested and make the drive seem not-so-endless. True Blue did that.
I think that the book is the start of a new series. I might download another one for another drive as I did like the protagonist, Mace Perry– an independent and tough woman and former police officer in Washington D.C. Former because she was captured, drugged and set up while serving under cover. At the beginning of the novel Mace is released from prison and intent on becoming a “blue” again. She hopes that solving an important case, with the help of her sister Beth, the police chief, and one of the initial suspects, Roy, will be enough to reinstate her.
Even though I liked Mace, some of the situations seem too contrived, especially when she is saved from dangerous situation by someone else showing up at just the right time.
