Long Road to Mercy
Long Road to Mercy | David Baldacci
Introducing a remarkable new character from #1 New York Times bestseller David Baldacci: Atlee Pine, an FBI agent with special skills assigned to the remote wilds of the western United States who must confront a new monster . . . and an old nightmare. Ever since her twin sister was abducted by a notorious serial killer at age five, Atlee has spent her life hunting down those who hurt others. And she's the best at it. She could be one of the Bureau's top criminal profilers, if she didn't prefer catching criminals in the vast wilderness of the West to climbing the career ladder in the D.C. office. Her chosen mission is a lonesome one--but that suits her just fine. Now, Atlee is called in to investigate the mutilated carcass of a mule found in the Grand Canyon--and hopefully, solve the disappearance of its rider. But this isn't the only recent disappearance. In fact, it may be just the first clue, the key to unraveling a rash of other similar missing persons cases in the canyon....

#LongRoadToMercy #DavidBaldacci #BookSpinBingo #DoubleSpin

Her name is Atlee Pine, the latest creation from bestselling author David Baldacci. She has unstoppable tenacity, always a fighter who is unwilling to cede any ground. She has endured real nightmares and she has the emotional and physical scars to show for it. And she got that long before she became an adult.

EadieB She is a FBI Special Agent assigned to the wilds of the western US. She has to cover, often solo, vast tracts of area: Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona. Small towns, impossibly long distances in-between, isolation like most on the East Coast have never experienced, and an environment where anything can and does happen. 2y
EadieB Working with the locals who respect, and also sometimes fear her, and have never really been allowed to know her, Atlee Pine turns her vast investigative skills and unmatched drive to find out the truth. Along the way she will revisit painful memories of her own, come to grips with what she is and what she might one day aspire to be. But in the end, she will have to confront not only a new monster, but also the old one of her nightmares. 2y
EadieB Atlee Pine is a great debut for Baldacci. She is a tough FBI agent who is looking for her twin sister, Mercy, who has been taken from their bedroom at age six. In this book, she is working the Grand Canyon area and is searching for a Priest brother. It is a great introduction to Atlee Pine and a mystery to match. If you like action thrillers then you will like this one. Looking forward to my next Atlee Pine novel in the future. 2y

It is so refreshing to find a detective series with a physically strong female protagonist who is a skilled fighter. FBI agent Atlee Pine investigates the disappearance of a man and the murder of a mule in the Grand Canyon. Soon it becomes clear there is something much bigger going on with international implications. Solving the case will involve a road trip with her very capable assistant, Carol, and lots of ass kicking of bad guys. A great read.

Awesome series ~ I‘m not even reading these books in order… Each novel is “stand-alone” fabulous, too. These books have likable characters, suspense, action ~ The author writes with the perfect amount of detail; so enjoyable to read!!

🎧 Book 4 (Mercy) is on my Libby wait list so I‘m reading the first 3 books.

Special Agent Atlee Pine is a twin. Her sister Mercy was taken from their bedroom as a child & never found. The serial killer she feels is responsible is in prison for life.

Her backstory makes her a complicated 3-dimensional character. She‘s a badass FBI Agent who goes rogue with her assistant to solve a mystery involving a murdered mule & a missing tourist.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved the main character! Great story- lots of action! I did not figure out the mystery before the end. One of Baldacci's best!

This is the first book in the Atlee Pine series and she is a total badass! My heart breaks for her because she and her twin sister were the victims of a horrible crime when they were little and she constantly searches for answers. I can‘t wait to read the next book in the series to find out what happens next. I really hope this series continues for many books because I would be interested to follow Atlee‘s story.

Parts dragged on a bit, mostly some of the history / gun facts or stories (at least for me ) -but the ending was worth it!

I‘ve read all of Baldacci‘s books (except his short stories) - I had high hopes for a new female MC. I was slightly underwhelmed by this one, but I will read the next in the series, when it‘s published. The plot kind of got bogged down about 3/4 of the way. I was okay with the ending, despite suspending belief a number of times.

Well Littens, as always I went a little overboard at Barnes & Noble. But they were all half off! I‘ve had a rough start to this year feeling the effects of SAD. Not only did I start the year with a bad book, but I haven‘t been enjoying the things I love. But I‘ve been feeling much better and more like myself lately and can‘t wait to dive into reading like my old self. All of you definitely inspire me 😊❤️ #BNBookHaul

WhatWouldJaneDo I read the Radium Girls last year and loved it (although obviously not feel good subject matter...) Hope your haul breaks you out of your slump! 5y
Chelseabillups30 @RvnclawWhovian, do you mind if I use your photo to complete one of the prompts for the #BNBookHaulChallenge? I could really relate to your story you captioned below and you win the award for best picture as well! Let me know. 5y
