Another thrilling read from a wonderful author, the Puller family always seem to get the results although it is a roller coaster ride to get there. This time assisted by FBI agent Pine when two investigations collide who doesn't get the result that she was hoping for as her twin sister is still awol. Bribery and money seem to be the order of the day in the highest circles so who can you trust?

FBI Agent Attlee Pine is searching for her twin sister and the investigation leads to a military investigator John Pullers case that leads to a global investigation. This is the latest book in the series and I enjoyed it

This is the third book of a series. And based on the ending, not the last. The first book I would get four stars, the second book 3 stars, and this book back up to four stars. Overall, good action. Disappointed in the ending as it seemed melodramatic and over the top. I’m very disappointed that this did not finish the story arc of the series. The author seems to be milking this all the way to the bank. Thanks to NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

*4 stars plus! Book three is probably the best in this series so far. FBI agent Atlee Pine is searching for her twin sister Mercy who was abducted 30 years ago. Clues now lead her and her assistant Carol Blum to Trenton, New Jersey, to talk to the grandson of the man Atlee believes took her sister. Unfortunately she inadvertently walks into a take down in progress by Army Criminal Investigation Command and the man she seeks escapes. She offers to help Officer John Puller with his case and he accepts, so once again Atlee is working both cold and current cases which she hopes will lead to answers in her search. Strangely, their investigation is blocked at every turn. Who doesn't want them learning the truth?

There are some very interesting developments in this book, many shocking twists and turns. I can't wait to see where Baldacci takes this story next!

I received an arc of this thriller from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Many thanks for the opportunity.

Atlee Pine is an FBI agent who is on leave to investigate the kidnapping of her twin sister some 30 years ago. When her leads entangle her in a deep conspiracy she joins forces with an old colleague to solve the crime. She keeps getting closer and closer to solving her sister’s mystery, but will she ever really know the truth? Maybe a better question would be, will she be able to accept the truth once it’s uncovered?

This is a very good FBI thriller/suspense novel. I would have given it 5 stars save for the excessive use of foul language, some of it vulgar. There is also quite a bit of violence and some adult situations; therefore, I would only recommend it for the adult reader. The plot was very intricate and deep, but easy to follow. While most of the loose ends were tied by the end of the book, there is still a bit of a cliffhanger. I recommend this book to the adult reader who likes a lot of action and can get past the rough language.

Atlee Pine is not on official FBI work because she is looking for her sister Mercy that was kidnapped when they were six. While she is trying to run down leads on the case she runs into John Puller. Together they work on her case and then combine it with a case he is working on. People are dying and Pine and Puller try to figure out who is responsible.
This is the first book in the series that I have read but I didn't feel loss. Look forward to the next book.

If you've enjoyed the first two instalments of the Atlee Pine series you should definitely grab Daylight. I'm sure you will not be disappointed with book 3. This latest novel by David Baldacci sees Atlee and her sidekick, Blum back in action solving crimes, fighting bad guys and trying to bring hardened criminals and corrupt members of society to justice. I enjoyed the addition of Puller from a crossover series that is great. As always Atlee and Carol find themselves in some scary situation, but I realized that the hope to find her sister, Mercy, and the future of the series will go on. Thanks to Netgalley for the advance copy.

Another winner by David Baldacci! Atlee Pine is such a fantastic strong, female character, so I was so looking forward to reading this third installment in the series, but I was THRILLED that Baldacci added John Puller to the mix of this action-packed novel as he happens to be my favorite of all Baldacci's male protagonists. Undoubtedly, Atlee and Pine make a fab team when working together, albeit unexpectedly when Atlee accidentally stumbles into one of Puller's CID operations while still on personal leave from the last book trying to find out what happened to her twin sister Mercy when the girls were 6 years old and Mercy was abducted and Atlee left for dead. It's been three decades, and Atlee is getting closer to finding who took her sister but still doesn't know what happened to her-is she alive or dead? And how does Mercy's disappearance and the man who took her have to do with Puller's case or is was Atlee just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Because bodies start to pile up around the two investigators and the bad guys are out for blood to stop them from finding out the truth.

Daylight is an intense, thrill-ride of a novel that I highly recommend although I do recommend that you read the first two books in the Atlee Pine series before diving into this one so you can get all the info you need on the kidnapping of Mercy and Atlee's quest to find her sister so far. That moment where her sister was kidnapped is a defining quality of Atlee, not just as an agent but as a person, so the more you know, the more you understand her. I already can't wait to read book four...and hope to see more of John Puller in the future as well!

Thank you Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for the DRC. All opinions are my own.

This book was received as an ARC from Grand Central Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

David Baldacci delivers another brilliant book. First off when I saw the first name of the main character I was a little nervous that I would spend a lot of time trying to pronounce it correctly but Atlee just rolled off my tongue and I do have to say it is a pretty cool name. I also am a lover of family looking out for each other and the determination and tenacity Atlee had throughout the book in search for her sister Mercy was really inspiring and not to mention exciting. Then Atlee and her assistant mess up a drug ring bust and are now public enemies number 1, make my heart stop why don't you! I was astonished by the end of this book and if my heart was filled with excitement, imagine the reaction of our library community.

We will consider adding this title to our Adult Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Having not read any of this series before, I was worried I would be missing important information. There are some parts that I feel that was the case (and I will make up for that by reading the 2 previous titles in this series) but this book can be read as a stand-alone.

I like Atlee Pine as a character - she is ballsy and determined to do all she can to make her various missions successful. I look forward to continuing Atlee's journey with future books.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Daylight is book 3 of Baldacci's Atlee Pine series. Atlee is a FBI agent whose twin sister, Mercy, was kidnapped when they were 6 years old.. She has been looking for her ever since. She has finally got some leads but in search of the truth, she has to help with other investigations. It gets a bit convoluted but she is able to pull off layers of deceit and coverups that leave us with a shocking reveal that is more disturbing than anyone could imagine. It ends leaving us even more distressed about Mercy - the question we contemplate is it better to die or live in certain situations.

FBI Agent Atlee Pine's search for her sister Mercy clashes with military investigator John Puller's high-stakes case, leading them both deep into a global conspiracy -- from which neither of them will escape unscathed.

For many long years, Atlee Pine was tormented by uncertainty after her twin sister, Mercy, was abducted at the age of six and never seen again. Now, just as Atlee is pressured to end her investigation into Mercy's disappearance, she finally gets her most promising breakthrough yet: the identity of her sister's kidnapper, Ito Vincenzo.

With time running out, Atlee and her assistant Carol Blum race to Vincenzo's last known location in Trenton, New Jersey -- and unknowingly stumble straight into John Puller's case, blowing his arrest during a drug ring investigation involving a military installation.

Stunningly, Pine and Puller's joint investigation uncovers a connection between Vincenzo's family and a breathtaking scheme that strikes at the very heart of global democracy. Peeling back the layers of deceit, lies and cover-ups, Atlee finally discovers the truth about what happened to Mercy. And that truth will shock Pine to her very core.

I am a big David Baldacci fan, as well as a big Atlee Pine fan, so when I saw this one was available from NetGalley, I snatched it right up! I have eagerly been following Pine's story as she searches for her missing twin sister and enjoying her adventures as an FBI agent on the way. This chapter of her story was no less entertaining than the rest. This was a fast-paced novel that kept me guessing until the last page. I found myself once again rooting for Pine and her sidekick Carol Blum as their case took them throughout the US, finding them both in danger more than once, and I enjoyed their relationship and how their personalities played off each other. So often, writers use a male/female partnership in these kinds of suspense novels, so I find Pine and Blum to be a refreshing change. I look forward to the next chapter of their journey.

I thank Grand Central Publishing for allowing me to read the ARC of Daylight by David Baldacci as I anxiously await each new book. The Atalee Pine series keeps getting better and better with each book. However, when I first began Daylight, I thought..."Oh, no...I know what's happening" and was disappointed. Was I wrong! As, I got deeper into the book, the harder it was to stop reading...so, I didn't. I read this book in two plus days. Then I was disappointed to have it end and know it would be months before I knew the next chapter in Atlee's life. Now, I'll buy the Audible to have the pleasure of listening to Atlee's search for her sister.

I enjoy Baldacci's writing but somehow had missed the first couple Atlee Pine books. This book did contain spoilers for those but I didn't mind. I liked Atlee and the story so I'll pick up the earlier books at some point. While I know generally what happened but I want to see who and how.

The appeal of this book for me was that it crosses over the John Puller series and I enjoy that one so much. I figured it would be a good way to see if I like Atlee Pine and I do. She's a maverick, smart, sassy, resourceful, determined. She's taking personal time off from her FBI job to try and track down her missing sister who was kidnapped when they were six years old. Lordy, does she make progress. No spoilers but she makes a lot of progress and her sister may still be alive.

One of her suspects is also a suspect in a case that Army CID investigator John Puller is working so they join forces. They make a great team and I hope that they will team up again. All of the characters are vivid and distinct, even the ones who make brief appearances. At times I needed a score card to keep track of everyone; the joy of an ereader is that I can easily search names to prod my memory.

"Daylight" was full of action, and engrossing, though the story itself was overly complicated and definitely stretched credulity. But the fast pace and appealing characters helped to gloss over those flaws somewhat. Since it left me wanting to read more in this series, I'd say the story overall was a hit. Your mileage may vary but Baldacci rarely fails to entertain.

I wish I had read the first two books in this series, but I feel this book does well as a standalone . The good thing about a series is you know future books will be coming. The bad part about a series is that at the end of the book - like this one - I'm left wanting to know what happens next!! And I want to know NOW!! Unfortunately, this is supposedly book 3 of 3. so evidently we won't be learning what happens nest. NO - say it isn't so!!! Don't leave us hanging like this!!!

Atlee is a good strong character as are John, Carol, and Robert - the other main characters. The story has plenty of complicated twists and turns to keep any mystery lover happy!!.

But I want Book 4!!!

4 stars

You can read all of my reviews at Nerd Girl Loves Books.

This is another good book in the Atlee Pine series. There is plenty of action, intrigue and danger. The book is a quick, easy read and a solid mystery.

In this book, Atlee continues the search for her sister. It takes her to New Jersey where she hopes to find the man who kidnapped Atlee's sister and injured her. Her journey takes her straight into the middle of John Puller's drug investigation at a nearby military base. The duo join forces and discover that not only are their investigations connected, their case involve a worldwide scheme that jeopardizes the fabric of global democracy.

This book hits the ground running and doesn't let up. Atlee is more determined than ever, and gets some of the answers she's been looking for, but as always, more questions emerge as well. I liked Atlee and John working together, but some of the action is a bit far fetched, as is the global conspiracy. But, it's all fun escapism so who cares, right?

I'm ready for Atlee's search for her sister to be over, so hopefully the next book will wrap that storyline up and she can get back to Arizona and her regular job. Overall, this is another enjoyable book in the series and I look forward to reading the next one.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for a free digital copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Not Baldacci’s best. A nice interweaving if two of his characters. But the story line left me wanted by the end.

Baldacci is great at government conspiracy plots, however, this one does not rise to his usual level. The partnership with Puller and Pine didn’t quite gel for me. I might read one more, if we actually find out what happened to Pine’s sister, but at this point it’s dragging out too far.

Daylight continues the story of Atlee Pine and her search for her missing sister in this 3rd installment. I have enjoyed many great books by David Balducci and one of my favorite series is the Amos Decker series. However, for some reason, I cannot connect with this character and her seemingly endless quest for her sister. While I did enjoy Atlee joining forces with John Puller, overall the story became confused and convoluted with the last few chapters feeling rushed with no resolution.

I was optimistic when I started this book but was disappointed in the end. I’m not sure that I will pick up the next book in this series. Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing.

Another top notch release by David Baldacci. Jammed packed with Pine / Puller tag team action. Gotta love 2 favourite Baldacci characters for the price of 1.
I highly recommended this book for all Baldacci fans including fans of
Fiction / Thriller genre titles..
