I did not like One Summer by David Baldacci which is different from his usual thriller/crime genre. It tells a story of a dying man whose wife is suddenly killed in an accident leaving him and his three children. He has a "miraculous" recovery and takes his children to a seaside town where his beloved wife grew up so they can all make a new life together. As our book club ladies would say this is "peaches & cream" to excess with some predictable and some improbable scenarios. Most of it is so sickly "sweet". The author should stick to what he does best. 2/5Thursday, October 20, 2011
