Publisher's summary

Audie Award Winner, Thriller/Suspense, 2014

From David Baldacci - number-one best-selling author and one of the world's most popular, widely read storytellers - comes the most thrilling novel of the year.

Will Robie is a master of killing.

A highly skilled assassin, Robie is the man the U.S. government calls on to eliminate the worst of the worst - enemies of the state, monsters committed to harming untold numbers of innocent victims.

No one else can match Robie's talents as a hitman...no one, except Jessica Reel. A fellow assassin, equally professional and dangerous, Reel is every bit as lethal as Robie. And now, she's gone rogue, turning her gun sights on other members of their agency.

To stop one of their own, the government looks again to Will Robie. His mission: bring in Reel, dead or alive. Only a killer can catch another killer, they tell him.

But as Robie pursues Reel, he quickly finds that there is more to her betrayal than meets the eye. Her attacks on the agency conceal a larger threat, a threat that could send shockwaves through the U.S. government and around the world.

Action from star to end!

Where does The Hit rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

5 Stars, just like the first book. I love this series, I can't wait to listen the next book!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Robie and Blue man

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

Mr. McLarty has become one of my favorites narrators, top 5 for sure.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I wanted to know why and who was given the orders.

Any additional comments?

This is a good example why I don't listen to people who had given reviews because I LOVE THE SPECIAL SOUNDS effects, it adds to the experience + the narrators are great!

Baldacci always a star

Another great hero developing with Robe. Interesting, (although it only in fiction) and indestructible. I like this book

3 Letter Agency Suspense at its best!

Another well written whodunit from Baldacci. But, in this case, you know who's shooting. The mystery is who put them up to it and why.

Fabulous story

The characters of Jessica and will are so very interesting. I enjoy their emotional journeys as much as I do the espionage and intrigue!

Twists and turns

What did you love best about The Hit?

Unpredictable except to know that Baldacci is always going to be unpredictable as to where he's going.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed getting to know Agent Will Robie. He showed not only his stone cold ability to be superhuman in sparring, but he also gave us an emotional image within his mind and heart.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were so many scenes to choose from that were action packed and thought provoking in this entire story.
