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 The best thrillers that explore 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 The best action thrillers with rule-breaking heroes.
