Why read it?
3 authors picked The 6 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I admit—I like a strong, smart, male protagonist.
The 6:20 Man is reminiscent of Girl on a Train, only with far more likeable characters and a plot that involves the high-tech, high-risk finance world of investment banking. I didn’t have to suspend belief with the premise of this thriller. The crimes feel real, the investigation(s) make sense, and information is provided with great timing and clarity.
I kept flipping pages because I became invested in Travis Devine’s life. He’s incredibly likeable which is probably why this one is being made into a series.
From Libby's list on exploring morally gray characters and the pursuit of power.
In general it was a good mystery to solve. I did get a bit lost in which character was which, but the continuous releasing of clues and shifts in the story kept in entertained.
From Ted's list on action thrillers with rule-breaking heroes.
