About this listen

The Innocent is another action-packed thriller from David Baldacci, one of the world's most popular writers.

He could no longer remember the names of all the people whose lives he had ended . . .

Master assassin Will Robie is the man the US government call to eliminate their most ruthless enemies at home or abroad. He never questions his orders, and he never misses his mark.

He’s just returned from a covert assignment in Edinburgh to neutralize a growing threat, having drawn upon all his expertise to complete his mission and disappear without a trace. The odds were stacked against him, but that’s never made a difference before.

But now he’s facing the most difficult operation of his career. Dispatched to kill a US government employee, he does the unthinkable when things don’t add up – he refuses to pull the trigger. In doing so, Robie finds himself becoming the target. On the run from his own government and with everything on the line, does he need to change sides to save lives – including his own?

The Innocent is the first novel in David Baldacci's blockbuster Will Robie series. Continue the series with The Hit.

Critic reviews

One of the world's biggest-selling thriller writers, Baldacci needs no introduction. Brilliant plotting, heart-grabbing action and characters to die for
Robie and Reel are complex characters, and anything they do is a pleasure to follow . . . Baldacci knows how to get readers to turn the pages, and he's in top form here
All stars

An excellent introduction to the world of Robie.
I will certainly continue with the series .

Would you listen to The Innocent: Will Robie, Book 1 again? Why?

I would be tempted to listen again, but instead I am going to listen to book 2 in the series. The narration duo have really good chemistry and is a major plus. I am really happy that they have done the other books in the series as well!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Innocent: Will Robie, Book 1?

All the major moments are memorable, from bus confrontations to café conversations. I'm not spoiling anything as I don't want to ruin any surprises, but trust me this book is full of great moments.

Which character – as performed by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy – was your favourite?

I enjoyed all the characters narrated by both, picking one is very difficult. Orlagh Cassidy's performance of all her major characters was brilliant.

Any additional comments?

I'll keep this simple, just listen to this book. You won't be disappointed.

A Fantastic Listen from start to finish
