Summary

True Blue is a gripping novel, full of fast-paced excitement from David Baldacci, one of the world's master storytellers.

Mason 'Mace' Perry was a maverick cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime. She lost everything – her career, her freedom – and spent two years in prison. Now on her return to society, Mace is trying to rebuild her life and track down the people who set her up. But even with her police chief sister at her side, she has to work in the shadows: there's a vindictive US attorney on her tail, just looking for a reason to send her back behind bars.

Roy Kingman is a young lawyer, still getting used to his high paid job at a practice in Washington. When Roy discovers the dead body of a female partner at work his fate becomes entangled with Mace's, as the two team-up to investigate.

But as their enquiries gather pace, Roy and Mace soon find themselves in unexpected territory – drawn into both the private and public world of the nation's capital as dark secrets begin to emerge. What began as a fairly routine homicide investigation quickly turns into something far more complex. And possibly lethal . . .

Superb

Excellent story line. Ron Mclarty is a master narrator. Look forward to more of the same standard.

Rather quick ending

A good story with some very exciting bits, gory at times. However, I found the ending rather unsatisfactory in that it was over too quickly after the tremendous buildup. But overall an enjoyable book.

Great book for Baldacci lovers

Another great book by David Baldacci.

After listening to all the David Baldacci books in the Camel Club series, this book did not disappoint. As usual with his books, I was taking the long cuts rather than the short cuts home in the car, so I could listen to more of the book!

A worthwhile addition to your library!

What's with the sound effects and music?

Would you try another book written by David Baldacci or narrated by Ron McLarty?

I'd definitely get another book by the author but I'd rather it was narrated by someone else. It was difficult to know which character was speaking a lot of the time, everyone sounded the same, but he was trying to do voices.

Would you be willing to try another one of Ron McLarty’s performances?

I pick books by the author so I wouldn't look for his narration but I don't think it would stop me getting a book.

Was True Blue worth the listening time?

Yes, I really enjoyed the story. As with other Baldacci books I've read it was a bit drawn out and could have been cut down a bit though.

Any additional comments?

At the end of many (but not all) chapters, particularly at climactic moments there was music and/or sound effects. Why? It was totally unnecessary and distracting. I'm sure everyone knows what gunfire sounds like. Hope other books don't have this nonsense.

Why a male narrator?

As usual, the story was very good, but the main characters are women and having a male narrator ruined the audible version for me. Would have loved it if a woman had narrated the book with primarily strong female characters.
