The 4th installment in the Will Robie series and the series is still going strong. I actually think the series is getting better? I won't go into details about the story given that it's the middle of a series and would hate to give spoilers. The writing is still just as great as the first book and the characters are still just as likeable. I really like the character development over the series, you think you know them but each story gives you another bit of their life that endears them to you a little bit more. Excellent mix of action, mystery, conspiracy, and dare I say, heart. I will continue with Robie!

Definitely not my favorite Baldacci book. Drawn out plotlines, Will Robie didn't seem like Will Robie.

easy to listen to, lots of twists & turns, just when you think you have it figured out, nope! good summer read or road trip listen.

The ending surprised me in this one--I didn't see it coming.
adventurous dark emotional tense fast-paced

Another enjoyable read in the Will Robie series! When does the next one come out? :)

Took me a while to get into the story. I think the author tried to put Will Robie's family into some sort of perspective, though this somewhat delayed what the story was about. Once the story started making sense it was a good read and the ending was definitely unexpected.

A good read.

Not my favorite from Baldacci. I expect some violence and sickos in this series, but this one had exceptionally ugly family problems. Too much to be very believable. Only the heroes survive?
