simple genius by David Baldacci .
This thriller was published in 2007 and it is the second book by David Baldacci that I have read. This book is the next novel David wrote after the collectors , which I thoroughly enjoyed.
A physicist's body is found on CIA property. Was it murder or suicide? Private Investigators Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are hired to find out. This story is not just about the death of Monk Turing but also the lives of the central characters Sean and Michelle. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book which was well written from lots of research. It is an easy read because of all the explanations that David gives. It is a great read right from the start as his style is like an old friend telling you a story sat in a pub. Anyone who enjoys watching Spooks should enjoy this book. This is an exciting novel and it is a joy to read.
There is a nice touch at the end, where on page 561 David writes...
AUTHOR'S NOTE
WARNING:
DO NOT READ THIS
BEFORE YOU READ THE NOVEL.
...and you turn the page and David explains how he wrote the book and it's background. I vote this book a HIT.
I closed the book and wondered just what dark secrets ALL governments hold? Remember the death of David Kelly , the former United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq, was it murder or suicide?
