About this listen
The Simple Truth is a tense courtroom drama with a fast-paced plot from best-selling author David Baldacci.
As a young conscripted soldier, Rufus Harms was jailed for the brutal killing of a schoolgirl. Yet after 25 hard years of incarceration, a stray letter from the US Army reveals new facts about the night of the murder - and the evil secret shared by some of Washington's most powerful men. Fearful for his life, Harms seizes his one chance to escape. But within hours the only people who knew about the appeal have been hunted down and eliminated.
As the unknown assassins close in on Harms, ex-cop turned criminal attorney John Fiske is drawn into the web. His younger brother is already a victim; the woman he loves is under threat. For the truth and the chance of a future, he will never give up the fight. But for both men, time is already running out. Their enemy is buried deep within the system and completely ruthless when protecting the truth....

New Author to me
My husband recommended this author to me, wasn’t sure at first but stuck with it, and I did really enjoyed it once I got in to the story, I’m sure the narrator helped with the enjoyment.

Didn’t see that coming...
Haven’t been able to put this book down. The beginning was a little slow but it soon became evident why because of the background story
It soon speeds up and boy what a ride. One of my favourite authors!.

Just Superb
Excellent story with very strong narration. Baldacci is at his best when he blends, politics, the army and in this book legal too. The plot is simple but builds up in intrigue, it introduces sub plots and that works really well. Honestly I can’t fault this book. Highly recommended holiday listen!

Justice?
An engrossing, at times alarming 'cover-up' drama, with a not too favourable peak into the Supreme Court, America's legislature.
The conclusion was good but the 'god stuff' at the very end was unnecessary.
This was my first encounter with both David Baldacci & Jonathan Marosz; of the novelist it won't be my last but can't say the same for the narrator, whose deadpan monotone narration only lifted itself during dialogue.
