Product details
Web ID: 14720288The 6:20 man
I purchased this book when it first came out (pre-ordered) and I hate to say it but it was a huge disappointment. There was so much repetition. Do Not know what happened here. I have every book he has written and loved each and everyone. Mr. Baldacci is my number one favorite writer. I am ordering the new "The Edge" and hope it is more on par with his other books.

The 6:20 Man
The 6:20 Man by David Baldacci is a great read. Our protagonist, Travis Devine, takes the 6:20 train into Manhattan where he works as an analyst for an investment firm. He receives an email one morning at work stating that a coworker, Sara Ewes, was found hanged in a storage room. Later that day he receives a threat to expose past secrets if he doesn't investigate his own firm. This takes him to power people where money is flowing and bodies are building up. Exciting read.

Worst of Baldacci
I always look forward to a new book from Baldacci, but this one was terrible.
Customer review from barnesandnoble.com
Very painful read.
Re: The 6:20 Man Dear Mr. Baldacci, I read your book. It was a very painful read. Please rewrite it and send it to me for editing. This version is missing not only your voice, but your tightly written and carefully crafted storylines. This book could not have possibly been written by the same man that wrote “Absolute Power” and “Total Control”. Many online reviews will confirm my concerns.

Great new character
Another well done Baldacci tale. I really like Travis and hope to see him again. The story line is different and much scarier than I would have anticipated. Unnerving, actually. This is another great beginning to a new series. I hope!

Intrigue on Wall Street
*4+ stars! Hopefully, the start of a new series by Baldacci. Travis Devine resigned from the army and began working at a Wall Street investment firm. He is shocked one morning to learn a fellow employee has been found hanging in a storage closet, a young woman whom he briefly dated. He's even more shocked when it's declared a murder, not suicide, and suspicion seems to fall on him. Is he being set up? Pretty exciting action as Travis tries to peel back the layers of secrecy that abound at this high-powered investment firm. The intrigue keeps those pages flying to reach the surprising ending. Well done! I received an arc of this new thriller from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own.

Thrilling and suspenseful!
This is an exciting thrilling mystery with plenty of plot twists that I never anticipated! All is not that it appears to be for any of the characters. The central character, Travis DeVine, is an ex-Army Ranger, now in a humdrum job in the world of financial trading, or so he thinks. He soon finds himself in the midst of treachery, espionage, cryptic, untraceable emails, and death. Travis is a flawed hero, with a past of his own, determined to uncover the perpetrators as he delves into a constantly changing investigation that could cost him his life. This is definitely a riveting book that kept me guessing right until the end. This is a standalone book but would love to see it developed into a new series by David Baldacci. I did receive a complimentary copy from the publisher and Netgalley and I am very glad I did! (and my mother-in-law would have loved it! David Baldacci was her favorite!)

Excellent (IMO)
I really don't know what to say about this novel! This was a fast read, a suspenseful one, perfect for the beach or a long plane trip, with just enough action to keep anyone happy. There is some 'romance' but not in the way of romance novels. I have read many books by Ms. Baldacci, and this book just adds to my knowledge that he is a superb author with a very clever, twisty brain! This book seems to be the start of a new series as this book doesn't clear everything up to my satisfaction. The downside of this novel is that you do have to suspend a lot of disbelief (such as the scene in which there is a fight between three men against one). This is a bit of a complicated novel if you are someone like me that does not have cutting-edge knowledge of finance or computers; the murders were just twisted enough that I never guessed who-dun-it, and I loved that fact! There is nothing worse than a mystery where you figure out the antagonist before you even get halfway through the book. This author can soo write a good story! *ARC was supplied by the publisher, the author, and NetGalley.
