Publisher's Summary

The number one best seller.

Long Road to Mercy is the heart-pounding first novel in the FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine series by bestselling author David Baldacci.

It is 30 years since FBI special agent Atlee Pine’s twin sister, Mercy, was taken from the room they shared as young children. Notorious serial killer Daniel James Tor, was caught and convicted of other murders, and while there’s no proof, Atlee believes he knows what happened to Mercy. Tor still resides in a high-security prison in Colorado.

Assigned to the remote wilds of the western United States, Atlee has never stopped the search for her sister, and, wracked with survivor’s guilt, she has spent her life hunting down those who hurt others. She will always ask herself, ‘Why her, and not me?’

Now, Atlee is called in to investigate a case in the Grand Canyon when a mule is found dead with strange carvings on its body, and its rider missing. She knows about killers and perhaps understands them better than any profiler in the FBI, but it soon becomes clear that she will need to put her skills to the ultimate test in this investigation.It seems that Atlee will now have to confront a new monster. And face the one of her nightmares.

Typical Baldachi Conspiracy Theory Theme

The new character Atlee Pine is well developed along with her sidekick secretary & potential future love interest & Pine's better than most abilities (again typical for Baldachi leading characters) left me waiting for Book 2 - if you're a Baldachi fan you won't be disappointed

Overkill

I bought this book in spite of the poor reviews but wish I hadn’t. I’m all for a strong female lead but I could barely tolerate finishing it. The absurdity of Atlees action got on my nerves.

story line simple yet engaging

male voice makes all characters sound retarded however just worth a listen as most of the story is done by the slightly better female nerator
story is simple but still mildly entertaining

Not one dull moment!

Atlee is a strong & smart female lead, which I always enjoy. There are okenty of twists in the plot to keep you guessing pretty much until the end.

Poorly written

Lame narrative, really didn't translate to anything interesting. Couldn't wait for it to finish. Won't be touching another of these again!

Totally unbelievable

I enjoy the John Puller series and thought I would try this, I know all his stories are not realistic in any way, but this one, I dont believe how bad it was. One particular issue is, Mercy is supposed to be super fit, nowhere in the book over the whole time it takes place does she do anything in the way of exercise. Its impossible to maintain super fitness without doing at least a minimum of regular exercise. She goes up and down the Grand Canyon like a mountain goat which is certainly exercise, but the book would have some semblance of reality if her exercise regime was even mentioned. Very annoying and unrealistic.

A good book spoiled by Poor choice of narrator

A great book to read, but this audio version is very hard to get into due to poor narration delivery.
The narrator’s performance improves to an acceptable standard after approximately 20 chapters.
Also, a little disappointed by inaccuracies with geological facts and incorrect use of terminology.

Suspensfull

Fast paced and exciting, another enjoyable listen. David Baldacci always impresses. I agree with some of the comments re male character voices, Sam sounded robotic but not enough to be off putting.
