I really enjoyed this story. I thought it had a lot of intrigue and was well written. I was connected with the characters Ugh dynamics between characters were great. I did have a few issues with things being too convenient” at times or a bit predictable, but that seems to happen a lot in these types of books. Overall a great chapter in the series and good book added to the overall Baldacci library.

Thanks to NetGalley, David Baldacci, and Grand Central Publishing for providing me an advanced reading copy.

The 6:20 Man #3 – We jump right into the action on page one. Travis, the 6:20 man has been slipped a note threatening his life from the Girl on the Train. The action is non-stop, and we leap from one adventure to another in this story. We also learn who the Girl on the Train is, Pru Jackson and ex-CIA agent, who becomes a big part of this story and helps Travis solve this mystery. Travis has been assigned to watch over Betsy Odom, a 12-year-old girl who recently lost her parents and her uncle would like custody. The Uncle has been charged by the FBI in RICO crimes and they are holding this custody case over his head. Travis has been selected because he once served with Betsy’s uncle in the service. Travis almost from the beginning senses that Betsy is in danger and that the FBI isn’t telling him everything and when some of the people that he has spoken to are killed, he realizes that he is being followed and someone wants him dead also. Travis also meets up with The Girl on The Train and finds out that they might be on the same side. I highly recommend this book and the series, and it is one that you won’t be able to put down. Plenty of twists, drama and tons of thrills as you follow Travis on this adventure. Once again Baldacci has a hit on his hands. Thank you, Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for providing me with an advanced reader’s copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

One can always be certain that a David Baldacci novel will be captivating and will hold your interest in a riveting and exciting thriller. There is a plethora of action in this plot —- “the girl on the train “ who wants to kill Travis Devine, a RICO investigation wherein witnesses are murdered, FBI and DHS agents working together along with local police, an orphaned 12 year old girl who is the subject of a custody battle, etc. The writing is superb and constantly requires the reader to turn the page to see what happens next. This book is highly recommended for all who enjoy this genre and I thank NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to publication.

Review: Review: This author should have written the Jason Bourne series as the current continuation leaves Ludlum spinning in his grave.

This novel has everything you need. Fast pace, great characters built on intense movement and an interleaving of mystery that demands internal sorting. A great read.

4.6/5

This book is the third entry in the author's "6:20 Man" series featuring Travis Devine. I disliked the first but really liked the second, so I was curious how this one would turn out. Sadly, it is more in the first book's court than the second book. Here, Travis is helping to protect a young girl whose parents mysteriously died. Now her uncle wants custody of her, but he has some questionable issues with the FBI that Travis also gets pulled into. The "girl on the train" appears in this story, too, just as she did in the other two, but here their relationship takes an interesting turn. What I did not like about the book is that it was too long and too repetitive, and therefore boring in places. Too many times Travis asks the same questions over and over and getting no answers, over and over. I much prefer the author's "Atlee Pine" series. Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for providing an ARC.

Travis Divine is back in the latest installment of the 6:20 Man from David Baldacci. This is legitimately, the best one yet with Travis being assigned to watch over Betsy Odom, a 12 year-old girl who recently lost her parents. Travis must face an old military acquaintance turned crime boss, a possible mole in the FBI or CIA, and his former nemesis, the girl on the train. The relationship with Betsy was well thought out, but it was Pru Jackson (the girl on the train) who really carried the story. There were no down times, just pure action and psychological drama. I was sad when the book was finished, but felt supremely satisfied with the ending. I cannot wait for the next one! Thank you to NetGalley and Rand Central Publishing for the advance copy in return for my honest opinion.

Travis Devine has just returned to the US and is asked by his boss to assist the FBI in watching over 12 year old Betsy whose parents have just died and her uncle who is under RICO investigation wants custody.
What happened to her parents because the official story and Betsy story don’t match up and why does her criminal uncle want her?
Travis begins to search for these answers only to become someone’s target. Every corner he turns bullets are flying at him and the body count is mounting.
This is quite the thriller with non stop action.
This did contain more military and several of the government alphabets references then I was expecting which is not something I usually read.


Thank you #netgalley #centralpublishing #todiefor for this ARC.

A two evening book once again

Fantastic pacing and plot

Devin’s body count gets a little ridiculous and DB’s politics threaten to indirectly derail story but it doesn’t

This is truly a great series with all the authors skills on display

READ AND ENJOY
