Deliver Us from Evil by David Baldacci

3.0

Fun read, but you just can't believe this stuff: protagonists who eat desserts, drink beer and wine, yet haven't an ounce of fat, move like cats, and never worry about making the rent payment or cleaning out the garbage disposal. A villain who is 100% evil, completely ruthless and unfeeling, yet integrates seamlessly into society--and who purposely gives his adversaries opportunities to escape or to kill him, instead of simply eliminating them. A hero whose fatal flaw is to be too self-sacrificing. Plot twists that depend on inside men being given the opportunity to save the day at the precise moment when all is lost. This is a guilty-pleasure page turner that can provide respite from serious reading.
