I like the character of Amos Decker, but good grief, ‘Redemption’ was slow reading. It just seemed to drag endlessly, whereas earlier Baldacci books were so engrossing they seemed to fly on their own. I had no trouble putting this book down for other pursuits. The plot of’ Redemption’ started out fairly interesting but then it went down so many blind alleys with leaps of sudden "AH HA" moments, mixed with Decker's weary sadness. The ending was just dumb, while trying to be relevant to today's global politics headlines. I did find it interesting that Decker's "memory man" symptoms are changing. I can only hope Baldacci will make the best of them. ‘Redemption’ is not Baldacci's best book, but I will give Decker another chance, though probably not for a while because I think Baldacci's next release is ‘A Minute to Midnight’ featuring Atlee Pine. Baldacci's best books are the Camel Club books and the John Puller books, but I enjoy Will Robie, too.
