About this listen

Will Robie is an assassin with a mission. But whose side is he on?

Back in DC after successful missions in Edinburgh and Tangier, assassin Will Robie sees his latest assignment, to eliminate a US government employee, go badly wrong. What had she done? Or what did she know? Robie is now a wanted man. But it seems that he’s not the only one on the run.

Young teenager Julie Getty is devastated by the inexplicable murder of her parents in their home. Who wanted them dead and why, is a mystery. But Julie is smart enough to believe that their killer will come after her. Robie and Julie meet when he saves her from an attempt on her life as they are trying to leave town. The police investigating the hit start to take an interest in Robie. He’s particularly attracting the interest of Special Agent Nicole Vance, who believes that the two cases are connected.

Robie finds himself in a dangerous position as he is tasked to investigate a crime at which he was present. Does he need to change sides to save lives - including his own?

Gripped from the first page.

What did you like most about The Innocent: Will Robie, Book 1?

The author had me hooked right from the start.

What other book might you compare The Innocent: Will Robie, Book 1 to, and why?

I've not read another book like it.

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

When you listen to them its as if you are in the same room.

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

There were times when I was holding my breath, the tension was electric.

Any additional comments?

I am now looking for other books by the author & also ones narrated by Ron & Orlagh.

A good old fashioned thriller!

Any additional comments?

Early on I thought "what is this?". Is this guy for real? Ron McLarty's deep serious tones illustrated the perfect all-american hit-man and there was fade-in/ fade-out music and sound effects happening. I was confused as hell!But I hung in there and dismissed my preconceptions about how an audiobook should be... and then it happened: I really got into it. Purchased book 2 before I even finished book 1 so that I wouldn't suffer withdrawel symptoms and loved the experience! This was what it was, Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy, complete with sound effects, a great old-fashioned thriller story with well resourced bad guys and the infallible but very likeable good guys. The whole book was a great experience.Highly recommend it!

Great read

I really enjoyed this presentation. This is not normally the type of book I like but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The narration is excellent, both of the narrators are great.

There have been plenty of comments on the sound effects, I did finally get used to them.

Another excellent book by David Baldacci

I love his books. They strike a great balance between technical details of the military characters and the human side. The relationship between Robie and Julie was a great and really added to the storyline which had the usual twists and turns from one of his books. Well worth a listen! I loved it so much I used my next credit for The Forgotten which was equally good.
