Description

In this New York Times bestseller, twenty-six renowned authors team up to create a first-rate serial thriller—a collaboration that combines the skills of today's greatest storytellers to produce one gripping murder mystery.

“The lineup of writers who have contributed to this mystery is akin to the Murderers’ Row of the 1927 New York Yankees. There is not a weak spot in the bunch.” —David Baldacci, from the Introduction

Sandra Brown. Faye Kellerman. Tess Gerritsen. J.A. Jance. Jeffery Deaver. John Lescroart. Kathy Reichs. Lisa Scottoline. Jeff Lindsay. These are only a handful of the names that make up the all-star lineup of authors behind No Rest for the Dead, a tale of vengeance, greed, and love that flows seamlessly, in the words of David Baldacci, “as it passes from one creator’s mind to the next.”

When a ruthless curator at San Francisco’s McFall Art Museum is murdered, his wife is the primary suspect. She is tried, convicted, and executed. Ten years later, Jon Nunn, the detective who cracked the case, is convinced that the wrong person was put to death. With the help of the dead woman’s friend, he plans to finally uncover the truth. Solving this case may be Nunn’s last chance for redemption…but the shadowy forces behind this murder will stop at nothing to silence the past forever.

Each of these bestselling writers brings his or her distinctive voice to the narrative, building the tension to a shocking, explosive finale. No Rest for the Dead is a thrilling, page-turning accomplishment that only today’s very best authors could achieve.

Book was just OK

I was disappointed in the way the author(s) ended the book with information that could have been interesting if used earlier in the story but at the end was just a waste of my time.
The story itself was OK but not his best work.

This is just a publishers attempt to make money. It was not written by Balducci.

Sadly, I have to say this book was a terrible disappointment... With all the different writers with writing styles and story pieces and then trying to make it all flow cohesively was never accomplished... A very disappointing book... The plot could have been an awesome read, but not with so many writers... I would get upset with every chapter and their incredible differences and smutty language... David is a clean writer and I enjoy that but some of his writers were not... A waste of time and money!
Just like hopscotch!

The book was outstanding. It had the reader changing his mind on who was the killer/killers. The various authors of the chapters wove all their skills to keep the book flowing for the reader.

Disappointing. A mash up like this may sound coo
On glee but even these very talented writers can't smooth out the bumps in the tempo,
Good idea, didn't work,

While this book was somewhat interesting I found there was a lack of character development that typically comes from one author who knows his characters well. Too many authors made for a disjointed read. However it was done for a good cause.
Awesome!

This was a great first book for this group of authors & I hope to see more. The flow of the storyline from person to person never faltered and it read like it was from one author. Genius!
Great Read!!

This was a fun read. It was a good "who done it" and amazing to see how well all the authors contributed to continuing the story. It's a bonus that profits are going to such a great cause. I highly recommend it!

I was disappointed in the book, they promised a story that you couldn't predict and it was very easy to figure it out from almost the very beginning. It's a quick read, I was just hoping for something that really was suspenseful and not predictable. Would wait for the price to come down.

This really was a great literary collaboration given the number of authors. Very coherent and engaging; the editors did an amazing job. I enjoyed reading & happy the proceeds are going to fight leukemia.
