Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are among my favorite fictional detectives and in "Split Second" author David Baldacci spins a tale about how they first met and, eventually, became partners with their own agency.It's an interesting story; one that details how a momentary distraction caused King to look away at the precise moment that an assassin shot the presidential candidate he was supposed to be protecting when he was a Secret Service agent. It also explains how Maxwell wound up suspended eight years later when a candidate she was protecting was kidnapped.That should make this a 5-star novel but Baldacci, in my opinion, doesn't quite make the villain and his henchmen very convincing. They are cartoonish more than menacing; cutouts rather than fully realized characters with believable motives. Baldacci does try to explain the villain's reasons by saying he is insane but... well, that's just not really believable given the length of time that passes between the death of one candidate and the kidnapping of another. It is, in fact, not very believable when it comes to explaining the assassination.That said, Baldacci does a nice job fleshing out King and Maxwell, which makes this a 4-star story rather than a 2-star or 3-star novel. As a reader - or, in this case a listener - I enjoyed the interaction between the two protagonists. I also liked the way Baldacci painted both of them: King, more reserved, Maxwell, more action oriented.As I said, King and Maxwell are favorites of mine and I can only hope that in subsequent novels Baldacci brings readers fully realized villains with believable motives.
There is an irrepressible genius at work in this guy’s writing. Small clues, happenstance, odd stuff at the edges that turn out to be critical to plot development: all lead to nearly impossible outcomes that occur by the squeakiest of margins without contrivance or implausible leaps.Each of DBs books is a roller coaster of events interlaced with moments of plot-refining reflection. While from a distance, his novels might seem formulaic and ultimately predictable, they are nearly always saved by the genius of particulars.I suppose that’s why I keep reading his work. Ineluctably drawn into his next adventure.....
The story line is quite farfetched but it brings together Secret Service agents Michelle Maxwell and Sean King. Both are on the outs with the agency because each is blamed for permitting harm to come to presidential candidates they were protecting in two incidents eight years apart. It is Michelle who recognizes the commonality of the two cases and tracks down Sean in his mountain cabin in the mountains of Virginia.The pair of them carefully reexamine both crime scenes and track down witnesses, only to discover that previous assumptions were totally inadequate. As they get closer to a solution, their lives are put in serious jeopardy. If they bring the same determination and perceptiveness to future cases, they will be a team that will be hard to reckon with. By far, it is the interaction of the two that makes this book entertaining.
**** For pure entertainment and reading pleasure, this was great. It took two different incidents spread apart by 8 years involving Secret Service members who lost their protectee, and placed these two events together in a thrilling adventure that ended up joining the two ex -Secret Service agents into a new partnership of King and Maxwell, Private Investigators. These two ex-agents are good, and they have great chemistry between them. They complement each other’s talents, brains, and energies, and will make for some great stories down the line with Baldacci. As always, Baldacci spins a yarn that has so many twists and turns that I changed suspects at least three times, and still didn’t get it right. There are so many details that come together to solve these crimes that it is mind spinning. Good story.
Having completed (and enjoyed) Baldacci's later series (Will Robie, Amos Decker, Atlee Pine), I decided to go back to his early work to see his development as a writer. Many of the elements that mark his style are already present - the labyrinthian plot, the smart, rugged male and female agents who keep getting outsmarted and beaten to a pulp by their quarry, the tentative, awkward romancing, and lots of well-written violence and gore. But also present are the marks of a writer just beginning his journey: stilted dialogue, cardboard - even comical - villains, and an unnecessary plethora of red herrings. So far, there is no chemistry between King and Maxwell, nor is there any rationale for their lack of communication which puts them in the hospital on the brink of death several times, and leads to the deaths of other characters. But knowing that he was embarking in a new direction makes these lapses forgivable, even enjoyable.
