While it clips along like the previous two, and the characters are alright, the plotting is especially contrived in this one. It feels like a bunch of ideas that don’t really mesh or communicate anything thematically are mashed together. It started out pretty interesting but doesn’t really tie up either of the main plot points well despite both having elements that, had they been more fleshed out, been way more satisfying plot beats. Gotcha ending bugged me as well.

"The next blockbuster thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci, featuring assassin Will Robie"--
