The Fix

I have loved all of the Amos Decker books so far as they are much more complicated than most books I read and this one doesn't disappoint.Great story about spying and betrayal and Decker finally solved everything just in time to help save the day.

Talk about a thriller! Baldacci once again has wowed skeptical me with a plot that wasn't only circuitous and unpredictable, it actually got my pulse racing a couple of times. His characters remain true to form and completely human. Again, his descriptions paint the setting without excessive embellishment (which ,I find detracts from a novel) so I absolutely enjoyed and recommend this book.

Amos Decker and Alex Jamison have done it again. This plot had a lot of twists and turns. It kept me interested and curious. Decker witnessed a murder in broad daylight, which sets into motion the rest of the story. Definitely worth the read.

I enjoy David Baldacci's stories. It took me until Book 3 to want to read more. The hero is multi-facted but takes some time to "imagine" as any story strives to go. I enjoy a good mystery. Onto #4.

I really like the characters and adventures in the series but this one was a little draggy. Ill keep reading the rest of this series though and am playing to read some of the others as well. Do love all the twists in the story lines.

Whenever I thought I knew what had happened I was wrong. Lots of great sleuthing in this story.Baldacci never lets you down

This book, The Fix, is the 3rd in the series. Do yourself a favor and start with book one, Memory Man. You won't be sorry. The main character of this series is as unique and complicated as Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot.Two events made him who he is. First, a devastating brain injury on the football field that left him with perfect recall. He remembers everything he has seen, heard or experienced in any way.The second event, the murder of his wife and daughter now remain as vivid in his remarkable memory as the day it happened.The writing is excellent. The plotting is excellent. The characters are believable and and well drawn. The stories are complex page turners.Start at the beginning with Memory Man. You won't be sorry. I repeat. What's not to like?

Good twists with clues you remember and wonder how they will tie in. I would have liked more on the bad guys and what they were doing developed, UT understand that would give away the "big thing"

Creo que como las demás novelas de Baldacci, las situaciones y personajes están bien diseñados. La historia en principio me pareció interesante, pero me parece que crea demasiadas situaciones alrededor del tema central lo que hace que al final se vuelve inverosímil y ésto hace que el lector pierda interés. Creo que el tema podría haberlo desarrollado en muchas menos páginas y crear una historia emocionante. Al final me costó trabajo terminarla y el fin de la historia me pareció un poco predecible. No es lo mejor que he leído de éste autor que en general me parece entretenido. Hablando de los mismos personajes, creo que me gustó más The Last Mile.

記憶を失わないという特性（完全記憶）。そして風景が色付きの数字に見える（共感覚）という特性を数奇にも有してしまった主人公「エイモス・デッカー」シリーズ３作目。前作よりFBI所属となった主人公。チームワークの中で助け、助けられ事件解決に臨みます。物語はFBIの総本山で幕開け。このFBIビル前にて、とある企業家（男性）が、居合わせた女性を銃で殺害。その後、男性も銃で自殺をするというはじまり。どのような理由で、どんなつながりがあったのか... 最後の最後まで気が抜けないオドロキの展開でした。ため息すら出てしまうのは、作者デビッド・バルダッチの人物描写。事件を起こした企業家像が鮮やかに塗り替えられていきます。ぜひぜひ、お楽しみを。読みどころはもう一つ。それは主人公のエイモス・デッカーの変化。特殊な能力を得た代わりに自身の人格喪失に陥っているデッカー。彼に温かさが戻りつつあるように見えるのです。シリーズを通して、デッカーにどのような変化が起きてくるのか。シリーズ小説の醍醐味を味わうこともできます。

アメフトの試合中に頭部を打撲し、完全記憶という後遺症（?）を手に入れた主人公アモス・デッカーのシリーズ第3弾。今回はシリーズで初めて過去の未解決事件ではなくリアルタイムで起こった事件を捜査します。なぜなら事件というのはFBI出勤前のデッカーが、まさにFBI本部の玄関先で目の当たりにしたものだったから。その事件とは男が突然前を歩く女性の後頭部を撃ち抜き、その後自分の頭部を撃って自殺したというショッキングなもの。調べていくと被害者の女性が10年前以上過去を辿ることができず、男の方は国家機密を他国に売り渡していた疑いがあることが判明。さらに調査を進めていく中で、これまで見えていた真実だと思われた裏に隠された真相が徐々に明らかに。相変わらずの面白さですね。全く飽きさせません。そして主人公デッカーにも少し変化が生じてきます。完全記憶が売りのはずだったデッカーですが、その完全さがやや薄れてきたのと同時に、これまで全くなかった共感性も少し出始めます。この先デッカーがどう変わっていき、その結果FBIとの関係はどうなっていくのか、そのあたりも今後注目ですね。

My first David Baldacci book, read because recommended by a friend. Didn't want to like it because I already have too many detective stories on my shelf....but it was entertaining and kept me guessing until the revelation of the crime's genisis. The main characters were quite likeable too, so now I'm going to (sigh...) order another Baldacci !

Amos Dexter the hero. Doesn't do things by the book. But he is the guy when the going gets tough.
