LONG SHADOWS is an overall entertaining procedural that follows an FBI agent and an FBI contractor as they travel to Florida to investigate the brutal killing of a federal judge and her bodyguard。 Decker is a contractor with an excellent record， who is not particularly well-liked by the bureau。 He has an eidetic memory as well as a bit of synesthesia from a head injury when playing football when he was younger， and it has made him an excellent detective。 He has been assigned to work with Freddie LONG SHADOWS is an overall entertaining procedural that follows an FBI agent and an FBI contractor as they travel to Florida to investigate the brutal killing of a federal judge and her bodyguard。 Decker is a contractor with an excellent record， who is not particularly well-liked by the bureau。 He has an eidetic memory as well as a bit of synesthesia from a head injury when playing football when he was younger， and it has made him an excellent detective。 He has been assigned to work with Freddie White， a Black agent， who has been blocked from promotions for too long。 While they are forced into the partnership， they do find themselves working well together as they proceed on the case。The case itself ends up getting quite twisty with other crimes following the initial ones， leading them down paths that were long in the past and through politicians and blackmailers to the explosive end。 There were plenty of red herrings along the way， as it seems that everyone had a bit of motive in this case。This was an engaging story overall， and the paths it took were all intriguing as they learn about all the possible connections between the victims。 The story stayed focused on the case， which did give this procedural an immersive feel。 The descriptions， particularly of women， can be a bit out there at times （ie， the woman with eyes like curious antennae）， and it does get mired amongst the prose occasionally， with a bit of a windy path to figuring out whodunnit。 They definitely make some mistakes along the way， particularly with Decker siding with another white guy。 However， the story remained entertaining and kept me invested， as I read to very end in order to find out what happened。Overall， LONG SHADOWS was an twisty procedural that will keep readers engaged and guessing。 Please note that I received an ARC。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Amos Decker is one of my favourite fictional detectives。 Injured whilst playing football， Amos is known as the Memory Man， he remembers everything he sees。 This is book 7 in the series and I have loved every single one of them。 I highly recommend starting at the beginning， with Memory Man， as this will give you background into who Amos is who he is and why。 In Long Shadows， Amos has a lot to deal with。 He is mourning the loss of a friend， battling health issues and wondering where he fits into t Amos Decker is one of my favourite fictional detectives。 Injured whilst playing football， Amos is known as the Memory Man， he remembers everything he sees。 This is book 7 in the series and I have loved every single one of them。 I highly recommend starting at the beginning， with Memory Man， as this will give you background into who Amos is who he is and why。 In Long Shadows， Amos has a lot to deal with。 He is mourning the loss of a friend， battling health issues and wondering where he fits into the world now that his partner Alex Jamison has moved on。 Then he gets a call and is sent to South Florida with his new partner， Freddie White。 A federal judge and her bodyguard have been murdered in the judge's home。 The local authorities are not happy that the FBI have been called in， but Decker and White just want to solve this case。As always， there are a multitude of possible suspects。 Freddie and Amos pull out all the tricks they know to get to the bottom of this one。 It certainly kept me guessing and turning those pages， I had no idea how it was going to conclude。Baldacci is an auto read author for me， and this book just shows you why。 His plots are complicated but never confusing。 His characters are realistic and get into your heart。 Thanks to Macmillian Australia for my advanced copy of this book to read。 Publishes in Australia， October 11th。 。。。more

I’ve read all of the Memory Man books， loving each one。 This is by far my favorite。 The book starts out with some reflection of people who have been in Deckers life along with a little drama。 Then he is sent to Florida with a new partner。 She’s very likable with quick wit that actually makes Decker smile occasionally。 Every chapter is filled with drama， excitement and another piece of the puzzle to help Decker and ‘Freddie’ solve their case。 I read this book in 2 days， just couldn’t put it down。
