True Blue by David Baldacci (Goodreads Author)

Edmond Gagnon‘s review – Feb 23, 2026  

I rarely give a book five stars but I think David Baldacci deserves every one of them, for True Blue. Being retired law enforcement, I can easily relate to the various roadblocks police have to negotiate while trying to solve crime. The two protagonists (sisters) played well off each other, along with a lawyer for one of their sidekicks.
The story move quickly, with a plot that kept me guessing (almost) most of the time. The police procedural action was believable and pretty accurate, and the behind the scenes government corruption came as no surprise to me.
In my opinion, there are way too many secret government investigative organisations, with way too much power.
True Blue is a great read for crime fiction fans.
