Memory Man by David Baldacci
3.0

This started a little slow. Took probably around 150 pages to really get into it for me. But after that I couldn't put it down.

Although I did enjoy this I felt like it had some plot holes. A few things didn't make sense. It was a very convoluted plot. Too much going on. The FBI agents also seemed useless. Just waited for Decker to tell them what to do and where to go.

The motive didn't make sense to me. I get wanting revenge on those who hurt the character but majority of the victims were innocent people who didn't know the person. Even the reason to go after Decker family didn't make a whole lot of sense.

The LGBTQ "rep" if you want to call it that was a little uncomfortable for me. Having just one LGBTQ character who just happened to be a murderer didn't work for me.

This got 3 stars because despite the things I didn't like I was still intrigued the whole time. I wanted to know how every victim was connected to Decker. Why was his family killed.
