Review: Nash Falls

Nash Falls by David Baldacci
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I've read and enjoyed a lot of Baldacci books in the past, but there is something about this book that gives me the feeling that he didn't really write it. Or at least all of it. It took me forever to read it, and it was not a book that "I couldn't put down". It was a book that was easily put-downable!

There are just too many gaps in the plot, too much repetition, and having a cliff hanger just makes me angry. I don't like being taken in by an author who just wants me to buy the next book.

Summary: "When Walter Nash is recruited by the FBI to help bring down a global crime network his life is turned completely upside down in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.

Nash is an intelligent man, tough but fair-minded. He has a wife and a daughter and a very high-level position at Sybaritic Investments, where his innate skills and dogged tenacity have carried him to the top of the pyramid in his business career. Despite never going on grand adventures, and always working too many hours, he has a happy and upscale life with his family.

However, following his estranged Vietnam-veteran father’s funeral, Nash is unexpectedly approached by the FBI in the middle of the night. They have an important request: become their inside man to expose an enterprise that is laundering large sums of money through Sybaritic. At the top of this illegal operation is Victoria Steers, an international criminal mastermind that the FBI has been trying to bring down for years.
