Background
Published in 2020, Daylight by David Baldacci continues the story of FBI agent Atlee Pine as she pursues the mystery of her twin sister’s abduction decades earlier. During her investigation, she crosses paths with John Puller, a military investigator probing a case involving drug trafficking and organized crime. Their separate missions become entangled when they discover overlapping leads tied to powerful political and criminal forces. As they delve deeper, the two confront dangerous adversaries and long-buried secrets, ultimately forcing Pine to reckon with disturbing revelations about her past and those connected to it.
So I had higher hopes for this book. It was full of ridiculous whining and improbable things happening. Everything in the story is motivated by Atlee’s sister’s disappearance when she was 6. She uses the story to one-up everyone she meets and as permission to do whatever she wants. Perhaps I read this too soon after that terrible book by Glennon Doyle, but I have a hard time thinking David Baldacci actually wrote this trash.
Oh well, on to the last book in the series.
Recommendation
Don’t read it. Get out while you can!
