Our view

“King and Maxwell” is a fast, efficient thriller that closes David Baldacci’s series about the investigators Sean King and Michelle Maxwell. The partnership between the two remains the book’s main pleasure, and the plot leaves little time to breathe. Some readers enjoy it without finding much substance behind the momentum. As the sixth and last volume, it means most to readers who already know the pair.
