The Forgotten
The Forgotten | David Baldacci
7 posts | 30 read | 9 to read
In Paradise, nothing is what it seems... THE FORGOTTEN Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case-but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida. A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be. What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident . . . and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed.

I'm staying with dad while mom is at my brother's in Indianapolis. Last time I stayed with him, I got him started on audiobooks. Now he reads at least 4 or 5 books a week.

I'm sitting here in mom's chair, happily reading my book and I hear him laugh. The David Baldacci mystery/thriller must have had a good bit of humor.

If you've ever heard my dad's genuine laugh, you'd know why I cherish that sound. I admire him for so many things. >>

DebbieGrillo He taught me to think critically, to let the little things go, and the value hard work. And, he still has things to teach.

Today I'm learning from him how to grow old gracefully. It's true that he can't do what he one was able to do. He actually misses working. He was never a big social butterfly, but he to say he doesn't get out much anymore is an understatement. He's losing his sight and can't see the television very well. >>

DebbieGrillo He can't folliw new shows with new characters. Many others might wallow in what they can't do, but not him.

Just being with my dad relaxes me. He has the best laugh, the best attitude, and the best stories. Once in a while he even tells one I've never heard before.

My sabbatical this semester is not turning out the way I had planned, but that's okay. I'm so grateful to have this time to spend with my family.

Book 2 in the John Puller series and I loved it! He is developing into one of my favs 😍
Reading it alongside the latest Reacher book was abit confusing though as they're quite similar 🤣

The second David Baldacci book I've read in two days...this time an adventure with John Puller. I love how this book feels so different to the Maxwell & King series, yet, the pace and the twists were as good! From the opening page you felt like you were catapulted into the story. If you like action thrillers like Jack Reacher, then you will love Special Agent John Puller! #Action #Thriller
