Booklist Online: More than 130,000 book reviews for librarians, book groups, and book lovers - from the trusted experts at the American Library Association

According to this story at Digital Spy, David Baldacci’s novels featuring Secret Service agents turned private investigators Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are being turned into a television series, with NCIS’ Shane Brennan producing.

This could be a good show, provided they spend a goodly amount of time on the characters. The King/Maxwell novels vary wildly in quality — the best of them is 2009′s First Family, the worst this year’s The Sixth Man – but a key element to them all is the rather complex relationship between Sean and Michelle. Lose that, and you’d might as well not bother.

What do you think? Is the series a good idea?
