Atlee Pine is back at it in another great entry to her series. These books seem to follow the same pattern - Pine starts investigating a personal mystery, falls into a larger conspiracy, which happens to tie back into her personal mystery. It's classic Hardy Boys.

I felt the Atlee/Mercy storyline was stronger than the conspiracy mystery, but I could definitely see the latter being plausible in the present day. As with all mystery books, it's hard to review it without giving much away, but there is a ton of action and suspense.

I love the series and can't wait for the next one. Baldacci, you've done it again!

One final thing to note - Another of Baldacci's mainstays, John Puller, "co-starring" in this entry was a nice touch. It was very reminiscent of when Robie made an appearance in the last Decker book. I assume Baldacci is building towards an Avengers-type team up even.... I'm just waiting for Stone to show up at the end of one of the novels, welcoming all the main characters to the "Baldacci Initiative" a la Nick Fury.

ARC from NetGalley, but I was planning to purchase this one on my own.

Our favorite FBI agent Atlee Pine is back for a third installment of the series that is more intriguing than ever.
I won't comment on a writing style and such as i usually do on reviews,because it will be unnecessary and inadequate...we all know the impeccable work of David Baldacci that keeps us coming back for more.
Pine and her administrative support Carol Blum are granted some additional sabbatical days from her boss Clint Dobbs so she can continue with her investigation with what happened to her twin sister Mercy who was abducted when they were both six.
As we follow her progress, a overlap of cases brings another well known character in the picture - John Puller who is with the Army CID. It's not their first case together so they decide to proceed unraveling this mystery together.
Bringing that two characters together was a really pleasant surprise and following them working together was interesting.
What the two of them discover on their way, puts them in danger and life risking situations, not once but multiple times and uncovering corruption on unimaginable high level is nothing but risky because covering their deeds at all costs is top priority.
This high pace thriller with it's a little bit of a cliffhanger final is a perfect continuation to the previous two books and i can't wait to see what happens next.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC for an honest review and giving me the chance to read this intriguing thriller.

Pine & Puller work separate cases yet assist one another when most needed. Good team with difficult cases solved by 2 people with different yet equal skill sets. Always smooth writing with this author
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this arc

I have really enjoyed other series from David Baldacci, but this was my first time reading the Atlee Pine series. this was a fast paced thriller, and I enjoyed revisiting the John Puller character. David Baldacci did a good job catching up the reader if you haven't read the first two books in the series.

Daylight is the latest in the Atlee Pine series by David Baldacci. I have to confess I haven't read the first two installments, but I certainly want to read the next story. Daylight is definitely a stand alone book, I had no problem following the adventure. Atlee is an FBI agent who is trying to find out what happened to her twin years ago. Along the way she is uncovering and solving other crimes. I want to thank NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for an early copy to review.

Daylight is the third book in the Atlee Pine series, and Atlee is once again on a mission to discover what happened to her twin sister, kidnapped when they were 6 years old. In this installment, Atlee’s search has her cross paths with old fiend John Puller, who is investigating a drug ring. Their investigations soon connect, and this action packed novel really takes off. This book is a big step up from the previous Pine book, with lots of moving parts, familiar characters, and some intense scenes.. Great reading. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through @NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great read! I raced through it. It's been too long since I've read one of David Baldacci's books and I will try not to let that happen again! This was the third in the Atlee Pine series, but it could have easily stood alone - I hadn't read the other two and I still loved this book.

Atlee Pine is an FBI agent, on leave from her job, while she searches for her twin sister Mercy, who was abducted in Georgia when they were six. She's finally starting to find a few clues when she unintentionally stumbles into a military operation which gets her involved in a big conspiracy involving the mob and some big politicians.

The was action-packed from the get-go and kept me greedily flipping through the pages for more. Great characters and a great plot. Atlee Pine is a strong, courageous protagonist and her military friend, John Puller is just an all-out admirable, stand-up guy (I heard someone say Baldacci had another series that focuses on Puller, so now I have to get those books too!).

Many thanks to Grand Central Publishing through Netgalley for an advance copy!

First let me say I'm a huge David Baldacci fan. I've read every book he's written. It took me a few pages to remember what was going on with Atlee Pine, but once I did I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book and any other book by Baldacci.

Keeping true to its title, this book is Daylight ahead of the rest of the series.Combining Atlee Pine's ongoing quest to find out what happened to her sister Mercy with a fantastic thriller story involving a conspiracy that reaches the highest level of government, this book moves at a serious pace. The crossover with John Puller was a nice move as well bringing one of my favourite Baldacci characters out of the cupboard.

Wow! Another winner! There is non-stop action from the very beginning until the very last page. The Pine/Puller combination is phenomenal as they get drawn into an investigation that neither anticipated. I loved both characters and was totally immersed in their story, turning pages just as quickly as possible to see what happened next.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. The author is a master at his craft and is a must read for any fiction lover. Put this one at the top of your TBR list.

Daylight is a very readable, enjoyable and well written thriller with interesting characters and a credible and engaging storyline. This is the third in the Atlee Pine series, but as a new reader to this series, it didn’t take long to catch up on the progression of events.
In essence there are two plots, one which continues Atlee’s long search for her missing twin sister Mercy. As an FBI agent, Atlee is given permission to follow up on three generations of the Mafia-related Vincenzo family to find out what happened to Mercy.
Atlee’s investigation of the Vincenzo grandson Tony, overlaps with that of Army CID agent John Puller. Together they are confronted by the cold blooded murder of a colleague by a young black boy with a promising future. Many things just don’t add up – as they dig deeper into the background of the boy, the more danger they face.
As the two story lines progress, Atlee and Puller uncover a major network of coercion and blackmail, involving another group of very powerful people who would do anything to protect their secrets and finally Atlee finds out what really happened to her sister.
I imagine that there will be a fourth in the series to resolve the issues around Atlee’s family. David Baldacci uses a very clever device of creating a substantial stand alone plot whilst interweaving the story line of Atlee looking for her sister to maintain the tension and continuity through the series and to keep the reader engaged.

What a fantastic book. This is the third in the Atlee Pine series and it does not disappoint. Definitely my book of the year and I suspect until the next one in this series comes out.

FBI Agent Atlee Pine is taking some personal time to hunt down her missing sister. There's a lot going on and it very fast paced. She also meets John Puller, a character from another series of brilliant Baldacci's books. There's lots of twists and turns and you don't know quite where it will take you next.

If you haven't read Baldacci before, give him a go, you won't regret it and once you've started it's difficult to stop.

I'm not going to give anything away but this is the must read of the season!

Thanks to Grand Central Publishing and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book for an honest opinion.

David Baldacci hits another home run with “Daylight.” Baldacci is a great storyteller and the Atlee Pine series is one of my favorites of his. Atlee is a kickass FBI agent but she keeps her humanity at the forefront.

Atlee’s sister was kidnapped 30 years ago and this story serves as a background to the primary story. The ending is a cliffhanger and sets up a nice opening to the next Atlee book. “Daylight” gets a bit wordy with all of the reminders of Atlee’s previous adventures; however, if you’d never read any of the other books in the series this could be helpful. I’d recommend reading the other Atlee Pine books before reading this one.

Finished it in two nights! Unputdownable!!

Atlee Pine and John Puller come together in David Baldacci's latest offering, Daylight.
As Atlee is searching for answers about her twin sister's disappearance 30 years earlier, her travels take her into the path of John Puller as the case he is investigating overlaps hers. As they discover the links in the cases, they find a possible conspiracy that includes the Mob and high ranking government officials. This book is fast paced and full of action and suspense. I stayed up all night to finish it. As usual, David Baldacci is doing what he does best, writing a great novel that will pull you right in.
Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the ARC in exchange for a fair review.

It's been a while since I've read anything by David Baldacci, and reading Daylight I was reminded of why I had stopped. There is nothing wrong with the book. Although I haven't read the previous entries in this series it didn't take me long to catch on to what was happening. The story moves along, most of the characters are believable, some of the action scenes stretch one's imagination but are typical of the genre, and the settings barely matter, and although the scenes in the last part of the book paint a grim fetid scene, I never felt repulsed, I never smelled the smells as I do in books whose authors take more care in their descriptions. But while there's nothing wrong with Daylight, I did not find that there was much if anything that separates it from other formulaic books of this genre. It's a good but not great read but undoubtedly Baldacci fans will be clamoring for it.

David Baldacci continues to confirm his place among the world's premier suspense and mystery writers. Daylight brings together two of our favorite characters, Atlee Pine and John Puller. Individually they are exceptional people, committed to protecting our country from those who seek to bring us down. When Pine and Puller work together, the level of excitement and danger is riveting: compelling and unforgettable.
Daylight is a story which at its core is both personal, trying to locate Atlee Pine's long lost sister Mercy, who was kidnapped from her family as a child more than 30 years ago, and professional, trying to prevent those who work to destroy our democracy by blackmailing our elected and appointed leaders from being able to do so.
This book is also a reminder that however cynical today's events have made us, we must not forget that there are literally tens of thousands of dedicated public servants working for our government on our behalf, individuals who put the public interest first, even to the degree of risking their own lives.
David Baldacci has developed a stable of admirable characters in his stories but few, if any, are better than Pine and Puller.

Daylight by David Baldacci

This book is the third in a series but the first I am reading about FBI agent Atlee Pine. 
The traumatized agent travels to Trenton, New Jersey, To uncover truths about her missing the twin she missed for the last 30 years. There she stumbles into John Puller, Army CID's case inadvertently and together they race against time to survive unknown enemies who seem to block their every move. After solving the case with John Puller, She also uncovers part truth about her sister's kidnapping.
The book is action packed and fast paced. As usual the author delivers a thoroughly engaging book that you cannot put down. You could fall in love with Atlee Pine ! She is so amazing from the beginning and even though she understands she is way in over her head, she handles the situation so well. Both the lead characters - John Puller and Atlee Pine are written with relatable emotions giving us insights on the story in depth.
I really felt bad that i hadn't started with the first book in the series, so i am now going to finish the first books soon! This book is worth reading and i promise you, You will not be able to put the book down once you start reading 
Thank you Netgalley for my copy

David Baldacci is a prolific author whose books are reliably good. I was very pleased to receive this book to review. It is the third book in the Atlee Pine series and, unusually, I have not read the earlier books but it Is not necessary for the enjoyment of this one. FBI agent Atlee Pine, based in Arizona, is having a mini sabbatical to learn what happened to her twin sister, Mercy, who was abducted when they were both six years old. As she is following a lead in Trenton, New Jersey, she crosses paths with John Puller, who is with Army CID. As there seems to be some overlap with their cases, and they know each other from previous investigations, they agree to work together.

Puller is a great character who had his own series (which I did read) and it was wonderful having him back on the page. I really love it when authors bring characters from one series into another one - it’s like meeting an old friend again. However, from there the plot takes them both on a dark journey of murder, high level corruption and entitlement. People will stop at nothing to hide their dark deeds and Pine and Puller find themselves in the crosshairs of a dangerous killer more than once. All the while Pine is learning more about her sister’s fate - and the news is not good!

David Baldacci is a master of the action thriller and fans of the genre will love this high octane story. It does end on a bit of a cliffhanger and I will be keen to see what the future holds for Pine. She is a strong female protagonist who can hold her own against most and she is a relentless investigator. My thanks go to Netgalley, Grand Central Publishing and David Baldacci for a copy of the book. My opinions are my own.

Daylight is the 3rd book in the Atlee Pine series from David Baldacci.

"Atlee is following a lead to her missing sister when she finds herself in the middle of John Puller's investigation. They join forces but soon find themselves under attack. And suits high up the food chain want them to stop. Multiple times, mercenaries come after them but they will not stop until they find the truth..."

I love when Baldacci connects his characters from different series. Atlee and Puller have a great connection and fit. They are both powerful but not invincible. The story is intense from the first chapter. And the revelations about Atlee's missing sister will make you go "Wow!" Baldacci writes intense page-turners. And each book in a series adds one more layer to a character. Keeps the reader on their toes and flipping those pages. You can read this as a stand-alone but will enjoy it more if you read the first two books.

What can I say? Another breathtaking David Baldacci masterpiece in action.

Daylight is book 3 in the Atlee Pine series. Our main character, FBI Agent Atlee Pine is still looking for her twin sister Mercy, who was kidnapped when they were just six years old. Just as hope is disappearing, Atlee discovers the identity of her sister's kidnapper, and there's no looking back from then on.

The plot is based on Atlee's chance after the monster, Ito Vincenzo. It's an action-packed, hair-raising rollercoaster ride- especially because Vincenzo is not just some psycho... and so the chase unveils a layered global political conspiracy. The plot is absolutely packed full of crazy twists which were incredibly satisfying even to a frequent thriller reader like me.

Read if you're into NONSTOP ACTION.
