Walk the Wire by David Baldacci Book Summary

Amos Decker—​the FBI consultant with a perfect memory—returns to solve a gruesome murder in a booming North Dakota oil town in the newest thriller in David Baldacci's #1 New York Times bestselling Memory Man series.

When Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison are called to London, North Dakota, they instantly sense that the thriving fracking town is ripe for trouble. The promise of a second gold rush has attracted an onslaught of newcomers all hoping for a windfall, and the community is growing faster than houses can be built. The sudden boom has also brought a slew of problems with it, including drugs, property crimes, prostitution—and now murder.

Decker and Jamison are ordered to investigate the death of a young woman named Irene Cramer, whose body was expertly autopsied and then dumped in the open—which is only the beginning of the oddities surrounding the case. As Decker and Jamison dig into Irene's life, they are shocked to discover that the woman who walked the streets by night as a prostitute was a teacher for a local religious sect by day—a sect operating on land once owned by a mysterious government facility that looms over the entire community.

London is a town replete with ruthless business owners, shady government officials, and religious outsiders, all determined to keep their secrets from coming out. When other murders occur, Decker will need all of his extraordinary memory and detective skills, and the assistance of a surprising ally, to root out a killer and the forces behind Cramer's death . . . before the boom town explodes.

Ok. Great read you will enjoy it.

Another political rant disguised as a novel. I read a book to be entertained. I don’t pay for a novel to hear someone preach about political ideology.

Quit writing if this is all that’s left!. An absurd plot made even worse by too many characters, too many murders, too many impossible escapes and numerous implausible scenarios. Total mishmash. A real bore.

Good. I was only able to read 97 pages and I never could get a book that had all the chapters I don’t know what was wrong I would like to finish the book

Walk the Wire. Walk the wire I traditionally love every thing this author publishes. This book is disappointing. The character development is non existent. It is as though the plot should force them forward, but unfortunately, The plot is convoluted and shallow. So follows the characters....Jamison is a flat character that adds no value. Adding Robbie and Jessica just further muddies the waters. Please do better.

Walk the Wire. Balducci has been going downhill for a while now. This book is really a mess. Throwing Robie and Reel into the mix made no sense. Write more Robie books if that is the intent. The Amos Decker character was really promising but the last two/three books have been meh. Jamison brings nothing to the table. Balducci’s other new character Atlee Pine so far has been a total fail.

Walk the wire. Thanks for the reviews. Although desperate for a good book, I’ll take a bye on this one.

Disappointed. I really like Decker a lot but this was my least favorite. It didn’t make any sense and three murder story lines that didn’t connect well. There were mistakes like it was rushed to print. Also, Decker didn’t use his “memory” until the end of the book. I like Decker because I don’t like the huge government conspiracy books. Not my favorite

Poor ending.. There is not a time limit for on how long it takes to read a book. Yes authors need to worry about how many pages will be in a printed version, but I don’t understand rushing an ending. Such detail throughout the book, then bam here are all of the answers in such short order that makes no sense.( don’t want to give the ending away)Not as good of a book as the other Memory Man series in my opinion.

Amos and Alex at their best. Best twist and turns! Brought to a great conclusion!

Walk the wire. Wasn't my favorite!!!! Everything seemed too elementary and predictable.

Good read. Great book bringing Amos and Robie together.

Another great Amos Decker Novel. A nice touch bringing in Will Robie

Walk the Wire. 3/5 stars. Enjoyable characters of Decker and Jamison. Disjointed plot that didn’t tie together very well. Hal

It reads like a draft manuscript for a bad stage play.. Or the draft of a really bad screenplay. The story is so so. What really got to me was the writing. Too many “she glanced sharply at him”, “she gasped”, and much worse in between. I refuse to believe David Baldacci is the actual author of this book. I’ve loved every book in that series up til now. But I don’t think I’ll continue.

Just OK. I didn’t like the theme and the ending was weak

Probably his worst novel. Did Baldachi really write this ridiculous yarn? It had to be a college or high school student to write such an amateuristic story. Don’t waste your time on this.

Amos Decker. Love this character!

Teams Working Together. Two separate groups , Amos Decker and Will Robbie unexpectedly meet in a mix of murders and international intrigue. One protects the other as they solve two separate connected cases. Good story lines. Got confused at times with all the character names intertwined. If bored at times, keep reading, it all comes out at the end.

Walk the wire.. Real interesting cliff hanger.

Where did Amos go?. Was really looking forward to another Memory Man book, but he barely used his “superpowers “. Confusing plot, Jamison is a dimwit bulb and Robie and Reel pop in out of nowhere to save their butts. Loved the first memory man book but couldn’t finish this one, sorry to say.

Disappointing. I was looking forward to the next novel in the Decker/Jamison series and instead ended up with Will Robie. Not realistic.

Too long and convoluted. What started off as an interesting murder mystery in the little known world of fracking in North Dakota went off the rails. Foreign mercenaries and a military cover up with shootings and explosions was not too much and not interesting. I should have stopped reading after the free sample.

Great. This book kept me wondering until the end!

Walk The Wire. Terrible! I rushed thru it to get to the end. The female FBI partner does nothing; she floats in space! I felt like he was trying too hard to put something out. Reads like a ghost writer! Disappointed.

Walk the Wire. I usually love this author’s books, and have greatly enjoyed the Amos Decker and Alex Jamison books. This one seemed too long and convoluted, so I fast forwarded to the end, skipping large parts. Also did not really like adding Will Robie and Jessica to the mix. The dialogue seemed a little off, and the tutorial on fracking was really boring. Just too many characters and too many tangents.

Walk the Wire. Best book I’ve read in a long time! I actually gasped out loud several times. So good.

Complicated and Convoluted. Looked forward to another Memory Man saga. Disappointed for the first time. Too complicated and convoluted. Too many plot points and characters. Two plots running simultaneously each with people and agendas. Hard to follow. SL 4/28

Walk the wire. This is another great book by this author. The book held my attention and kept me on edge until they end.

Walk the Wire. I’ve read most of the author’s books. I’ve enjoyed them, but this one was way too long...with way too many plot twists...and incredulous [if not silly] events. Better luck next time.

BOOK TAKEN AWAY BEFORE I FINISHED IT!. I never got to finish this book. I was almost to the end but I could not get it to come back up. I paid for it so unfair! I don’t know who the killer was. I should get my money back.

Love David Baldacci Books. Decker is such an interesting character in this series. He keeps evolving each and every book. These books never fail to keep my attention.

Good book to read only if you’re housebound.. When I first began to read David Baldacci, starting with "Wish You Well" and subsequent thrillers, I felt I was reading literature. This book strikes me as having been written by a computer or by high school interns. It’s filled with short sentences in series and the increasingly frequent errors in the use of personal pronouns. I look forward to the day when Baldacci himself again assumes authorship.

Great. Great story.

Starting to feel a left wing tone. I’ve read most of this authors books this year. This newest book is showing the authors political side. Have it two stars for that. If the book is good I’ll change my rating. Only through chapter 3 now

Awesome story. Good all the way through.....I love this series

Boring. He phoned In the plot and recycled characters. Story was predictable and money driven.

More realism would have been helpful.. The book had a reasonable story but some of the conclusions drawn were less than original. What was really bad about the book was the authors continued efforts to show his politics and attempts to influence readers with his opinions. Poor as they are. I finished hoping it would get better as I really liked the first Amos Decker book. This one has stopped me from reading any more.

Walk the Wire. Disappointing. Most Balducci novels push the boundaries of reality, but bringing in characters from other novels, with no connection, is just a marketing ploy. I couldn’t even finish the book.

Walk the wire. That was a waste of 15.00$ very disappointed .

Walk the Wire. Another five star winner for the author, but more importantly for his readers who've waited to continue this saga. Building slowly to a bombastic closure..., I dare you to put it down.

Awful. Nothing like the previous Memory Man / Amos Decker books. Dozens of different plot lines and overly complicated. A tedious and boring read. I forced myself to finish it. A very big disappointment.

Combining characters. I love that Will Robbie was brought into this book. It made for a great story and a great combination

New memories. Excellent Storey Thought I was going to get lost, but the Storey came around and rapped up fine. Many thumbs up 👍🏿👍👍🏼👍🏽🙏

Decker, with Robie, amazing stuff!!!. Wow, I have missed Robie, it was good having both himself and Reel paired with Decker. This book easily ranks as one of the best novels David Baldacci has ever written. Kudos my good sir…

A Good Read. Excellent read that keeps you guessing at what will come next. The ending, while not a total surprise, comes after you have figured it out wrong several times!
