Eyejaybee | Jun 7, 2024 |   • I very much like Melvin Mars. • Some of the story was predictable and some, mostly unimportant, questions remain but it was overall really good.

This story picks up very shortly after the end of Memory Man, and Decker has been informally recruited into a special cold case review team of the FBI. The team had planned to meet to discuss which case to take on. However, en route to the meeting, Decker had chanced to hear about an almost literally last-minute reprieve for Melvin Mars, who had been scheduled for execution for the murder of his parents twenty years earlier. Shortly before he was due to enter the execution chamber, a convict hundreds of miles away had confessed to that murder, and had provided sufficient details about the killings to convince the authorities of his guilt. Decker convinces his FBI Team to take on an investigation of this case instead.
As usual with Baldacci’s books, the plot is sinuous and full of surprises, and the characters are plausible. Decker emerges as a very strong character, although Baldacci is careful to pepper him with faults and frailties, maintaining his credibility. (
