Summary

Amos Decker, David Baldacci's unique special agent, who suffered a head injury that resulted in giving him the gift of a remarkable memory, takes on another case in The Fix.

Walter Dabney is a family man. A loving husband and the father of four grown daughters, he’s built a life many would be proud of.

But then the unthinkable happens.

Standing outside the FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC, Dabney shoots school teacher Anne Berkshire in cold blood before turning the gun on himself.

One of the many witnesses is Amos Decker; a man who forgets nothing and sees what most miss. Baffled by what appears to be a seemingly senseless and random killing,

Decker is thrust into the investigation to determine what drove this family man to pull the trigger.

As part of an FBI special task force, Decker and the team delve into the lives of Dabney and Berkshire to find a connection that doesn’t seem to exist. What they do find are secrets that stretch back a lifetime and reveal a current plot of impending destruction that will send the world reeling, placing Decker and his team squarely in the crosshairs.

The Fix is the third audiobook in the Amos Decker series, following The Last Mile. Continue the investigative thrillers with The Fallen.

The best story yet

I loved this from the get go. In his usual way, DB keeps you guessing about any new characters as the story winds it's way through many twists and turns and I must say that the main surprise was exactly that when it came.
As always the narrator's were excellent and add to the intrigue.
Thoroughly enjoyed and recommended.

the series just gets better and better.

The main characters keep developing along with another fantastic tale. This story revolves mainly Decker and Jamieson with the rest of the team a peripheral characters, this is probably an error as it does not develop the series as a whole. The story is once again thought provoking and look forward to the next installment.

OK - an easy listen

A little far fetched in parts but on the whole an easy enough listen with enough going on to keep me interested.

Engaging but quite ridiculous storyline

Well performed, engaging but storyline was very far fetched… lots of twists, but a bit for the sake of it

Triple Decker!

The Fix is the third in the Amos Decker series and builds strongly on the first two. It's subtly different in that the mystery itself does not seem so personal to Decker and the other key characters. There is less in terms of building an ongoing tension and urgency, that rather comes in a more episodic form including a couple of interesting side plots.

Decker is of course a quite different kind of hero. Dysfunctional detective /agent types are nothing new to the genre but with his accident-induced memory and personality conditions he is just a bit different and better explained than most. The mysteries he investigates are complex and multi-layered and I found the twists here genuinely interesting. Baldacci also manages to weave significant human interest and emotional touches into the overall tapestry. There were perhaps one or two cheesy moments in there but they were well done so I think they can easily be forgiven.

The joint narration works really well between Brewer and Cassidy. Some conversations between single female and male characters are given a much greater tempo as the two voices mean all the he/she saids are dropped without loss of clarity.

In all this is another good addition to the series. To me it didn't quite hit the impressive heights of the previous book but I'll definitely be following Decker and co to the next one.

Amos Decker is great!

I have loved the previous Amos Decker books and his vulnerability, the relationships with colleagues etc. Although having what some perceive as a special gift you also realise that this is a burden but it allows the story to twist and to turn, keeping you involved all the way.

Narration was fine on the whole, I do appreciate that setting atmosphere and doing all the characters can be burdensome but the narrators did well on this one
