Unfortunately I read the entire book (about 600 pages) and will never get back that time. I was really surprised at how bad this really is, given that this is an incredibly successful author. I've read quite a few books by Ken Follett and John Grisham over the years but I don't want to keep reading the same authors, so I thought I'd give Baldacci a try in an effort to find a writer who I like as much as those two. I'm a fan of great writing and this isn't it. Anyone who reads Total Control will be as spell bound as I am by yet another David Baldacci book of excellence and suspence.ĭo yourself a favor and read the other 1 and 2-star reviews here on Amazon. Sawyer takes a real interest in Sydney and works hard to get to the bottom of this intricate puzzle. She has hope, but at every turn she runs into big trouble. She is a smart savvy corporate lawyer on the top of the heap one day and accused conspirator and worse the next day, all the while she desperately seeks to find her husband who was believed killed in a terrible plane crash, then gets a phone call from him the day of his memorial service.

Death or life in prison keeps her one step beyond disaster and death. The ending is a surprise to Sawyer and everyone else as all the true perpetrators become revealed and Sydney, the beautiful wife and mother of the missing loving good husband tries desperately to find her husband but for Sydney Archer who it seems never catches a break only finds more heart break. The veteran FBI agent Sawyer is the only one after retrospect that believes her to be innocent and doggedly tracks down every murder and every clue, and there are lot's of them. My heart goes out to Sydney Archer at every turn in this compelling masterpiece of suspence. The characters are known yet hidden in this suspenseful story that twists and turns with the main character, innocent yet caught in every evil contrived among the characters. I have read many of his books but for me, I put Total Control on the top of my list, and that is saying a lot for all of his books are very good, very suspenseful and keep you on your toes. I finished this book a few days ago and wish their was more, it was that good.
