As enjoyable as the first in the series.
Will Robie is back, and upon his returns he delivers pretty much the same we got in the previous book, unadulterated fun. Whenever I grab a book by Baldacci my expectation is to be entertained with a fast-paced read. I know I won't get masterful writing, and I know there will probably be some unbelievable situations and twisted plot lines. I am happy to say that the author delivered once again, so as long as you know what you are getting you are highly likely to end up like me, a happy camper.
I enjoyed the fact that the author decided to bring back two engaging characters from the previous novel, Julie and Vance. These two allow Baldacci to explore the psyche of Robie and therefore are valuable in the plot. The basic story-line this time revolves around a rogue female agent. She is one of the best assassins the government employs and has worked with Robie in the past, so when he is chosen to take her down, things heat up quickly.
I recommend this series to those looking an easy read that keeps you glued to the pages. I am already looking forward to the next one in the series.

I like reading these "popcorn" books to break some of the tougher or longer reads up. Pretty standard action book, enjoyed it enough.

The Hit is a fast paced, action oriented thriller that often leads to moments of wondering what will happen next. There are gaps in explaining how the characters figured things out or how they escaped that reduced my affinity for this book. James Patterson fans are likely to enjoy this book more than Lee Child fans.

Another quite entertaining story involving Will Robie. I didn't like it quite as much as the first one but it's not bad either.

I like the Will Robie character and this was your basic Baldacci book. There's a reason I've keep picking them up - they move quickly and there are badass good guys who kill the bad guys. However, his stories are all starting to run together and feel somewhat the same, so this one may be the last I read.

This was another fun adventure in the Will Robie universe. It has been a long time since I read one of these and this one was fun. It had some great twists and turns and kept me entertained.
