Summary
'This is Baldacci at his formidable best, teasing the reader with hints and suggestions while pushing the story forward at breakneck pace. Do not miss it.' Sunday Times
Killer twists. Heroes to believe in. Trust Baldacci.
Simply Lies is an intense thriller featuring Mickey Gibson, a former New Jersey detective, from the number one bestselling author David Baldacci.
NO TRUTH
Former Jersey City detective and single mother of two, Mickey Gibson, now works for global investigation company, ProEye, to track down assets of the wealthy who have tried to avoid their creditors. One day she gets a call from a colleague, Arlene Robinson, asking her to visit the home of a notorious arms dealer who has cheated some of ProEye’s clients in the past. Mickey arrives at the mansion to discover the body of a man hidden in a secret room.
NO LIMITS
It turns out that nothing is at it seems. The arms dealer did not exist, and nobody at ProEye knew of Arlene Robinson. Mickey had been tricked and now the cops were involved. The body was that of Harry Langhorne, who’d been in Witness Protection having had links with the mob.
NO FEAR
Now begins a cat-and-mouse showdown between hardened ex-cop, Mickey, and a woman with sociopathic tendencies who has no name and a mysterious past. She intends to get what she wants and people who get in her way will die. For Mickey to stop her, she must first discover her true identity and what damaged her all those years ago. And the truth behind why she selected Micky to become her nemesis . . .

A Rare 5 Star Rating
I love books of all genres but it’s rare for me to award 5 stars. I don’t know what it was about this story that spoke to me but I was gripped from the get go and couldn’t stop listening. I only purchased the book yesterday and have finished it just 26 hours later. Can’t recommend highly enough, especially for those that love a book with a strong female lead.

Another David Baldacci Classic
Have read many David Baldcci novels and this one as many of his books do; takes a different approach and contains many surprises. The quality of the audio recording is excellent. Impatient to read the next novel in the series, that is thought provoking.

Interesting, fresh new character. However……..
Mr Baldacci has the best narrators in the business and this book is no exception. The new character is likeable and without giving away anything, the story is intriguing and moves along at a good pace. However, it should be noted, there are descriptions of child abuse. I avoid stories which contain this subject but this isn't in the book's synopsis. I believe it should be.

Not up David’s usual standard I feel
Didn’t enjoy this as much as other Baldacci books. Not sure if it was the narrators, not much differential between characters voices. Struggled to identify female characters.

Simply lies by baldacci
Another first class book from the master storyteller. It started off building the background to all the characters then raced on with twist and turns I was guessing what would happen one moment then two chapters later was blown away and wrong. Had me sitting on the end of my seat right to the last chapter. The narrator was fantastic and help involve me in the story well done both. Can’t wait the next book to be published.
