I am the third fourth reader of this book, assuming that the owner finished it - which I hope he/she did - before my room mate found it somewhere.
The wife was next but she didn't get too long. She had commented that she didn't like the alternating chapters between the events. I do not have a problem with this. Blaze was written in such a way that past and present were alternately presented which actually made perfect sense to me... It was like revealing secrets as it affect the story.
So this is the story about a president's family. I am pretty sure that this was written before Obama won. But I am not sure if it was started before even rumors came out that he would run for office. But whichever is the case, I just brought it up because the president in the story happened to be black.
Willa, the president's nephew, was abducted by Quarry. The intent and relation of the abduction is not yet revealed so far but the private investigators - Michelle and Sean - hired by the First Lady herself do have their theories that actually involved Willa's father.
The line of relationship between Quarry and Tuck (Willa's father) is not yet presented - that is, if there is any.
I have read two books by David Baldacci years before. The first was Simple Truth, and then, much later, Wish You Well. I didn't get to finish Wish You Well. I just lost interest, that's it. I was only half-way through the book and I couldn't pick up the sense of continuing any further.
This one though, is something I am engaged so far. I hope my hopes wouldn't wither.
