Summary

The Hit is David Baldacci's blockbuster follow up to The Innocent, the smash-hit bestseller featuring U.S. government assassin, Will Robie.

When government hit man Will Robie is given his next target he knows he's about to embark on his toughest mission yet. He is tasked with killing one of their own, following evidence to suggest that fellow assassin Jessica Reel has been turned. She's leaving a trail of death in her wake including her handler.

The trap is set. To send a killer to catch a killer. But what happens when you can't trust those who have access to the nation's most secret intelligence?

The Hit is the third thriller in the Will Robie series by David Baldacci, preceding The Guilty.

Another gritty Baldacci story. Ron McLarty adds strength to the Will Robie character. Once again the American's ruling the world in their own way. The additional characters are beginning to develop too which adds a nice undertone to the main story. Will continue with this series.

Loved it

What did you like most about The Hit?

It's a crime thriller that is happy to exist in it's own skin. Doesn't try to be anything else. I bonded with Will Robie, serious dude in book one... and felt that I got to know him a bit more in this. It's just a great listen.
The fade-in/fade-out music and sound effects that had me raising an eyebrow in book 1 only added to the experience here. I've bought into it.

Have you listened to any of Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Ron McLarty is great - I'll bet he is just like Will Robie.

Any additional comments?

Enough twists and turns to keep the suspense going.
I really enjoyed this book it has a great plot and nice balance of action vs politics and scene setting.....as a listener, time well spent.

(Only as a desirability) I Would have liked just a little more technical detail included to really enhance the credibility of the characters levels of skill and expertise.

A good balanced overall action book...
