The Whole Truth88 reviews David Baldacci Grand Central Publishing, 2008 Pulse-pounding thriller with great characters, plot, etc. + Very timely + Good Fast Read The Whole Truth is my second Baldacci book, the first being The Collectors. Although the two are stylistically similar, if I did not know beforehand, I would have never suspected they were written by the same author -- The Whole Truth is much, MUCH better.

When I read this book I did not get the sense that Picoult was copying Stephen King, but rather taking the issues raised in The Green Mile and giving them a more contemporary twist.
