FBI agent Atlee Pine has one mission to find her missing sister Mercy who has been missing for 31 years after being taken from her home, late at night. The experience leaves Atlee an emotionally wounded child who turns into a tough loner who wants justice for her sister. She catches a breakthrough when she traces her sister's kidnapper to Trenton, New Jersey and teams up with an old friend, CID agent army veteran John Puller who is after the same person after very different reasons. The book is Baldacci at his finest. Clear descriptions, dialogue is sharp and interesting, a rarity for a thriller novel. The places that this novel include the rough streets of New Jersey, to the high end section of New York City, a small town in Georgia, even the the Pentagon. The mystery involving the Mob, Army even the high ranking officials in the government is enough suspense to last a book, but then you add the Mercy case in the book, it becomes a ticking timebomb to solve it when the body count rises with surprising answers that actually make sense. Note: I suggest you to read first two books: Long Road to Mercy and A Minute To Midnight first since there is alot of mysteries that tie together that are answered to this book. This is Baldacci at his best: action-mystery suspense filled with human characters that show you what they are capable of and show their true colors to fill in a twisty mystery that surprised even me, a long time reader of Baldacci. He seems to get better and better with each book. By the way, John Puller has own series as well. First book is Zero Day. Love that series as well. Enjoy!

Grit and determination abound in this story. A real page turner wrought with suspense, corruption and intrigue that makes you want to keep reading.

Thanks to , Grand Central Publishing, and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review This is the third book in this series and I recommend starting from book one on this series. This book is full of twists and turns and does leave you hanging on some of the mystery threads that will probably be followed up in the fourth book in this series

David Baldacci has several book series and this book is the third one in the Atlee Pine series. He is a prolific author and it is fun to get into the different series because you get to know the protagonists quite well. Atlee Pine is a very smart, likable character. There are several twists and turns in this book and I think it is the best of the three. It is important to start at the beginning of the series to get the most out of the story right from the beginning. I highly recommend this book.

Be prepared for non-stop action as you dig into this book. Being my first book from the series, it was a little difficult to get into the flow at first, but it was manageable after a while.

Agent Pine is following leads on a personal quest to find her missing sister, Mercy, in the course of investigating such leads, Agent Pine crosses paths with an Army CID officer simultaneously pursuing the same lead in an unrelated case. Indeed, after they join forces, they discover that this is a corruption of the very highest level.

With the many twists and turns in Daylight, it was definitely a page turner. The was plot intricate but not too difficult to follow, and the story was fast paced with lots of action. The writing and the characters are excellent.

I would like to thank David Baldacci, Grand Central Publishing, and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Summary:
An action packed novel that keeps the pages turning.

Attlee Pine is back, still looking for her sister. Along the way she and CID agent John Puller encounter what appears to be a drug ring, but there is much more going on. They encounter one road block after another. A huge conspiracy seems to be operating with people at the highest levels. This book was action packed from beginning to end. It is the 3rd book in the Attlee Pine series but you will have no problem catching up on what happened previously. There is a huge twist at the end of the book but there is one thing that kept this from me giving it a 5*. The ending left a lot hanging that will hopefully be resolved in the next book. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Atlee Pine is the best! I looked forward to reading this and was not disappointed. This book grabs you from page 1 and won’t let you go, it’s impossible to put down. I hope David Baldacci continues the Atlee Pine series.

The Atlee Pines series is a must read! Daylight has so many twists I couldn’t put it down. Among other issues, murder and drugs play a big part in this book. Be sure to start with book #1 in the series to understand what is driving Atlee. My only problem with this book is the ending. I want to read the next book right now!

It's been a while since I have read anything by David Baldacci and after thoroughly enjoying this book I can't wait to rediscover more works by this author. Daylight offered suspense, surprises and was very easy to get into. I found myself reading late into the night as I was so anxious to follow this book to the end.

I enjoyed this book from one of my favorite author this book ones full of action and suspense I would recommend this book to all who enjoy this author

Atlee Pine is back in this third installment of the Atlee Pine series! Atlee is still looking for Mercy her sister who was kidnapped when the girls were six, Atlee was left for dead but came thru and has been looking for Mercy for most of her life. On leave from the FBI Atlee and her secretary Carol are in New Jersey following up a lead to Mercy’s disappearance, when Atlee runs into John Puller Army CID who’s working another case but the two have collided. As a fan of Baldacci’s there’s nothing I like more than the two worlds becoming one. This book has mob, politicians, murder and mayhem making it a great unput downable read! With Pullers obsessive need to work and find out the whys, and Atlee ‘s relentless quest to find her sister at any cost, these two are a great team adding to the mix Carol and Pullers brother Robert makes this one the best of the series thus far.thank you net galley for gifting ,e this book!

So not only is this my first Atlee Pine read, it’s my first novel by David Baldacci and boy I may be late to the party but glad I got there.

The aforementioned Pine is a female FBI agent in her 30s with a troubled family history. Here she continues the pursuit of her missing twin sister Mercy, missing since they were 6 years old.

Her enquiries have her cross paths with an army CID officer, John Puller, who is pursuing a similar lead and she ends up helping him along the way, where they uncover what starts off as a drug ring and ends up in much darker places of abuse, blackmail, murder and corruption up to the highest level!
Can they uncover the conspiracy before they become targets themselves and will it lead Atlee any closer to finding out what happened to her sister?

As a first time reader to this series, there was a hell of a lot to take in. A huge back story obviously, it took me a while to get up to speed but this is very readable as a stand alone.

The pace on this is relentless. There’s a huge amount squeezed in here and you will be exhausted by the end.(in a good way). The intricacy of the storytelling is hugely impressive as we are left dizzy with deeper and deeper layers of narrative, all delivered at an electric pace. There’s also a huge cast of characters, some major and some very minor but it somehow seems to work seamlessly, never being confusing or tripping over itself.

The main characters are very well written and Pine is a great central character to tie the whole thing together.

I really enjoyed this one. I’m only sorry I hadn’t read the first two in the series beforehand.

Many thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

I received a copy from Netgalley for a honest review of Daylight by David Baldacci.
Book 3 of Atlee Pine series and arguably one of the best as of now. John Puller also plays an parallel important role and it's good to see more of his brother Robert in action, have been a fan of his geekiness. The story of Atlee's search for her sister Mercy continues in this series and with more information both about her family's past and her sisters, the author has certainly made the book a standout.
Would definitely recommend this book.

I have just read this book hot on the heels of the new Hurwitz book (due next February) and the new Rankin book just published. These are probably my favourite authors for an entertaining read as I think that they're the best in their field. Each this time had a strong family aspect to the story (agent-X with his mother, Rebus with his daughter and Agent Pine with her sister).

As ever the writing is very good in all tree books. If I had to chose one I'd probably chose the Hurwitz book as I think that his writing is becoming stronger through each book in a similar way to the Rebus stories becoming stronger. If I'd read the first Rebus book first (I didn't as they have been running for many years) I'm not sure if I'd continues as I felt that it was a bit unsure of itself. Baldacci on the other hand seems to relish writing a number of different series of books in tandem, leapfrogging between them.

Having said all that I did enjoy the book in a stay up reading it at 2am way! The story developed with skill and a few twists and turns along the way, and the ending felt better than the Agent-X one IMO, which felt a little rushed and cliched.

It's hard to review a book without giving away any story lines, but you really can't go wrong with Baldacci, and Agent Pine is one of my favourite characters in his books.

Fantastic read. I have been enjoying this series immensely. Daylight is a great addition to the series. Also, we get John Puller in Daylight. Atlee is still looking for her sister. That story advances in Daylight. Seriously cannot wait for the next book.

4+ Stars
This is David Baldacci novel #26 for me. Yep! I am a fan! (My favorite characters are John Puller, Amos Decker, and Will Robie. But Atlee is growing on me)

This is Book #3 in the Atlee Pine series. FBI Special Agent Altee Pine has been searching for her twin sister Mercy, who was kidnapped when she was six. Altee was left for dead. When the kidnapper was trying to decided which twin to take, he recited this nursey rhyme
Eeny Meeny Miny Moe
Catch a tiger by the toe
Eeny Meeny Miny Moe
My mother told me to pick the very best one and that is you.
Atlee often wondered what the best was ~ Being taking or left for dead.

Altee seems to find new troubles while tracking down leads. In this case, the Army is involved. I am delighted that one of my favorite characters John Puller has teamed up to help!

As I mentioned this is my third; the first was okay, the second was better, and yes this has made an Atlee fan. I really like the Atlee and Puller connection. However, it was what Atlee and her partner Carol Blum uncover about Mercy’s disappearance that had me on the edge of my chair!!

Want to thank NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing – Random House for this early release granted in exchange for an honest professional review. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.
Publishing Release Date scheduled for November 17, 2020

Attlee Pine continues her search for her sister, getting assistance from John Puller when she runs into a snag. The story moves fast but ties up a lot of loose ends regarding the kidnapping. If you are a David Baldacci fan, it will be worth a read.

I'm a big fan of Baldacci as well as a fan of this series. It's nice to have a female protagonist who is a total badass. I am also a big fan of what Baldacci has done the last couple of books when he brings in other characters from different series for cameos. Atlee Pine is easy to root for and is a great character. I look forward to see in what direction Baldacci takes her.

FBI Agent Atlee Pine rocks!
I so want her to meet up with Jack Reacher!
I have to say.....David Baldacci, YOU are my favorite author.
I guess I need to write a review now and all I can think to say is, you need to read the Atlee Pine series.
Daylight is the third book in the Atlee Pines series. I recommend you read the books in order as there is a lot of back story to Atlee Pines life.
The family dynamics going on are mind boggling and gripping. So much going on within this story.....murder, blackmail, drugs, prostitution and more.
I can’t wait for the next book in the series. I need it now!
Many thanks to NetGalley, Grand Central Publishing and author, David Baldacci, for the opportunity to read and give my honest review about this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

My dad has been reading and recommending David Baldacci to me for YEARS and I didn’t listen. After reading Daylight, I am seriously beating myself up for that. This is book 3 in the Atlee Pines series but I was able to easily follow along. There is a brief description in the beginning which caught me up quickly. I definitely do want to go back and read the first two books now of course because this was so good.

Atlee Pine, a FBI agent, and John Puller, an Army CID agent, are long-time friends that end up working together when their cases cross paths. Atlee is searching for a her twin sister that was kidnapped as a child and John has been looking into a drug ring. There were several twists and turns in this one with non-stop action and a shocking ending. Daylight was a suspenseful fast paced thrill ride filled with political corruption and non-stop action. Basically I couldn’t put it down and lost several hours of sleep turning the pages to find out what happens. The characters were complex and well developed while also being very likable. I can’t wait to find out what happens in book 4!

Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
