Query: THUD!

Ouch, I've always enjoyed Baldacci but this book has some of the most stilted dialogue I've ever read. The book starts out great then coasts into a haze that it never recovers from. I re-read some of the dialogue about halfway through the book and couldn't believe what I was reading - like bad high school creative writing. This is only one half of what could've been a really good book. I'll give Baldacci another chance if he'll write a complete book.
