A gripping thriller from David Baldacci, The Last Mile is perfect for fans of Lee Child and James Patterson.
Memories can be a real killer.
Melvin Mars awaits his fate on Death Row. He was one of America's most promising football stars until, aged twenty, he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his parents just as he was due to begin a very lucrative contract with the NFL.
When Amos Decker, newly appointed special agent with the FBI, hears the news that Melvin was saved in the final seconds before his execution because someone has confessed to the killings, he persuades his boss to allow him to carry out an investigation into the Mars murders.
There are facts about the case which don't add up, and as the investigation deepens, Decker and his team uncover layer upon layer of lies and deception which are rooted at a time in American history which most would rather forget, but some seem keen to remember.
There is someone out there with a lot to hide, and a secret that everyone is looking for. A race against time ensues because, when revealed, that information threatens to tear apart the corridors of power at the very highest level.
The case proves to be life-changing for both Mars and Decker in ways that neither could ever have imagined.
The Last Mile is the second audiobook in the Amos Decker series, following Memory Man, and continuing with The Fix.

Olika uppläsare för kvinnor respektive män är onekligen ett annorlunda grepp som jag personligen inte tycker är en optimal lösning. Man vänjer dig dock. Boken är spännande, men jag irriterar mig omåttligt på huvudpersonen som är icke-kommunikativ och på arbetskamraterna som verkar acceptera detta fullt ut. Nej, det var inte en bok jag rekommenderar!

Boken får 5/5, men ljudboken endast 4/5. Detta då ljudboken har två olika uppläsare; en kvinna, för kvinnliga karaktärers dialog, och en man för manliga karaktärers dialog samt berättarröst. Det blir kaka på kaka eftersom författaren redan har skrivit boken tydlig nog för att klargöra vem som säger vad. Olika berättarröster är OK i en radioteater, men inte i en ljudbok. Det samma gäller ett antal tillagda ljudeffekter som även de bidrar till att helhetsbetyget lyssnarupplevelsen försämras.

Bättre manlig uppläsare än första boken. två olika vänjer man sig vid. Tråkigt att författaren envisas med att få alla karaktärer religiösa, det blir lite tramsigt och uppenbart skriven för att locka vissa typer av (amerikanska) läsare.

Riktigt bra. Lite revenge, vilket jag gillar. Mycket bra deckare och plot twists. OTROLIGT bra produktion med två uppläsare. Ända nackdelen är att man nu har svårt att gå tillbaka till en. Den manliga uppläsaren i denna är hysteriskt mycket bättre än i första boken!
