The LAST MILE by David Baldacci ****

This was an interesting mystery. A guy gets bonded out of jail on the day he's to be executed. He ends up with FBI, and a cop, plus a few other cops. I had a problem remembering names the author divided them sometimes so only 2 or 3 went someplace then in another section 3 or 4  them went someplace together. There were also too many bad guys which also were thrown together randomly and that became an issue for me trying to keep track. Their personalities are not strong enough except for the guy out of jail Mars, and maybe the lead character Amos Decker. Also it seems names like Decker, Davenport, Montgomery are common book names and it's confusing.

The writing and descriptions are well done. The story line is interesting enough to keep me reading cept one cop was kidnapped for no reason, no ransom, no demands to get her back. Who the F* knows what that was all about, got me! It was almost the last page they get her back for a trade. I don't think the author made enough mention of her, where she was, why kidnapped, what was happening to her etc. Just left her to wallow in her own misery I guess.

Recommend get it at the library.
