Summary
A Richard & Judy Book Club Pick
Immerse yourself in The 6:20 Man, a heart-racing thriller with an incredible ending, set in the world of high finance in New York. From David Baldacci, the number one bestselling author of Memory Man.
It's time to catch a killer . . .
Having survived combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and been decorated with medals, Travis Devine leaves the army in mysterious circumstances, under a cloud of suspicion. And at thirty-two years old, he’s swapping fighting the Taliban and Al-Qaeda for a different kind of danger in the cut-throat world of high finance.
His daily commute on the 6:20 a.m. train into New York’s financial district, to his new job as an analyst at the powerhouse investment bank Cowl and Comely, takes him into a world where greed, power, jealousy and ambition result in the financial abuse of the masses and the enrichment of an elite few.
When a close friend of Devine’s is found dead, the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death at Cowl and Comely compel him to investigate further. As he digs deeper, he discovers strange coincidences and unnerving truths.
As the deaths pile up, and the major players show their hands, Travis must question who he can trust – and who he must fight . . .
The action continues in The Edge, the second Travis Devine thriller from David Baldacci.

A perfect storm!
A common explanation from the experts on the news in recent times is "perfect storm". Whenever someone asks why something is happening. Be it the pandemic, climate disasters, or inflation. Fortunately for us the readers, unfortunately for our 6:20 Man. Travis Devine seems to have gotten himself into the calm center that is the eye of a perfect storm. A heart-pounding, leaving your palms sweaty thriller.

New to Baldacci
Tedious and didn't hold my attention. Even on higher speed, it bored me. Plot implausible nonsense.

So clever!
Baldacci never disappoints. I love that the “goody” in this story is such a mensch. Excellent research. We’ll worth the time.

A little more than the sum of its parts...
The story is... okay. There are some ludicrous character behaviours (i.e. people behaving in a manner that seems incredibly unlikely - given other circumstances). That said - it's a satisfyingly entertaining story. The narration would have been better if it had just been left to a single person - some of the dialogue was very disjointed - almost as if the parts had been recorded separately... (I know, I know - but it shouldn't sound like it was done like that). Zachary Webber's narration in particular was excellent.

Hmmm!
I’m a big fan of this author and have been for many years, this was not for me. Sadly, I think it may be the beginning of a new series.

Baldacci gold
I was reluctant to purchase this book even though an avid fan of Baldacci. i wasn’t inspired by the title or the synopsis but wanted to read the first of the series before going for The Edge which sounded better. I should have known better! I was quickly gripped by the story and loved all the twists and turns of the plot. Not to be missed.

6:20 man review
Well narrated. Good storyline with a twist at the end. I did have to stay focused as there were quite a few characters in the story.

Good story but the womens characters needed better defined voices
I couldn’t tell who was who from the women most of the time which is definitely important to the story
