Summary
In Simple Genius, David Baldacci reintroduces the main characters from best sellers Split Second and Hour Game.
Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are both haunted by their last case. Realizing that Michelle is teetering on the brink of self-destruction from long-buried demons, Sean arranges therapy for his reluctant partner. But instead of focusing on her recovery, Michelle unearths disturbing secrets in the hospital....
Sean accepts a much-needed job. A physicist, Monk Turing, has died in mysterious circumstances near Babbage Town - a secretive establishment populated by an eccentric group of scientists and cryptographers, funded by an anonymous but powerful group. Meanwhile the dead man's young daughter, piano-playing prodigy Viggie, has secrets of her own. But what is the significance of the phrase 'codes and blood'?
Directly across the York River from Babbage Town lies the sinister CIA training ground Camp Peary, where Monk Turing's body was found. With both the FBI and CIA breathing down Sean's neck, can he discover the truth? And will he be in time to save Michelle from herself?
Simple Genius is followed by First Family, The Sixth Man and King and Maxwell.

First class
Compelling listening. I was constantly wearing headphones much to my husbands annoyance. Great listening during long solo runs.

Good reading
Enjoyed the story but found the music unnecessary and annoying. Is there a way to choose not to have the annoying music?

The blurb put me off...
The blurb about this book put me off downloading it for a long time. But I enjoyed it as much as his other books. I’m not mad keen on the narrator’s slow drawl at times but it isn’t too off-putting. Story is satisfyingly far fetched! Bit gruesome in it’s description of torture towards the need so be warned!

why add music!!!!
good story and reader, I just don't like background suspense music..... it's brief only occasionally and very forgivable... if there was more it would have ruined it.

Most enjoyable
Good, interesting story and well defined, engaging characters.
An excellent read by any standards. My only quibble is that the readers characterisations all carried a laid back feel. It could do with some variation in the energies differentiating the characters.
