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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

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

good listen

Robi is central character but his professional blandness is nicely countered with fiesty 14 year old Julie

What does Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Good narration by both parties

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

another Baldacci winner

Simply written with great plot.

I found the English in this book to be quite simple which initially took me a while to get used to. The story got better the more I listened, and I liked the way it concluded. It does have an issue in the final chapter where one of the dialogues is clipped for some reason, though I'm not sure if that was a production issue or something else. That's the main reason it looses a star for me.

Boom, bang, crash!

I disliked all the shrill noises used for dramatic effect, reverberating shots and screaming mimis.

Loved the sound effects,using 2 narrators works.

If you could sum up The Innocent: Will Robie, Book 1 in three words, what would they be?

fast moving story

Who was your favorite character and why?

Will Robie makes an excellent hero, very explosive

What about Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s performance did you like?

Work extremely well together.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes it made me download books 2 & 3, & they are just as good as the first.

Great!

Another fantastic story the two narrators make all the difference. I'm reading my way through the entire booklist, I can't get enough of this author.
