Baldacci brings his unusual, distinctive skill in character development to portray people who seem very real, with a degree of unpredictability that advances this very clever plot."-- The Free-Lance Star"This book is a definite one-day, 'edge-of-your-chair' read, with an ending that is a complete surprise. Baldacci at his best, which is as good as it gets."-- Providence Sunday Journal"This is another great novel by a brilliant writer. Read it."-- Lincoln Journal Star (NE)"Another action tale of espionage and betrayal from a master storyteller. "A spectacular ent

I broke a semi-rigid long standing self imposed rule and bought a book by a popular author with seemingly formulaic and contrived characters and story lines with 1,000's of 5 star reviews on Amazon. My need for this "rule" was substantiated by "The Innocent" as the story was so full of ridiculous plot holes and awe inspiringly flat characters that my ability to suspend disbelief was challenged in ways I've never before experienced. The author seems to have some sort of personal rule about sentences not having more than 6-8 words as well as the dialog and verbal interaction between literally all of t. "A fast-paced thriller!" according to Jjspina. David Baldacci does it again in this thriller with hired assasin, Will Robie.
