The Innocent is a story of an American assassin who is trying to solve a mystery before it kills him. The protagonist Will Robie is an assassin for a secret government organization who kills on orders without questioning. But he fails to act on one of such mission and he becomes a target.
Because of an accident he pairs up with a teenage girl whose parents were killed right before her eyes. Will Robie somehow feels responsible for the girl. He soon realizes that someone is playing a game with him, someone who doesn’t care about collateral damage, someone who doesn’t want him killed just yet.
He teams up with FBI agent Nicole Vance to catch whoever is playing the deadly game in which the causalities keep mounting.
The book is very fast paced and interesting and it keeps the mystery alive until the very end. I finished it in two days. The characters are nicely developed. The seemingly different mysteries never stray too far and in the end all loose ends are tied up. Definitely recommended.

Good Story
The plot was a little complicated, but I was able to follow. I figured out one of the plot twists rather quickly. This was my first David Baldacci read and although it wasn't great, it was good enough for me to be interested in reading the next book in the series.

Finished the Archer series and decided to try out Will Robie. This was a suspenseful read, with lots of twists and turns. Baldacci paints a good introduction to Will Robie – I like that he isn’t some one-dimensional assassin with no compunctions. Robie is competent at his job, but he also feels conflict over his actions and decisions at times. For now I like Archer more than Robie, but I think that’s partly because most of the plot was filled with action, so there wasn’t much opportunity for character study. Fingers crossed the upcoming books reveal more about Robie as a person!
This was action-packed and pretty fast-paced, quite a difference from the Archer series. From what I’ve read of his work, Baldacci tends to lean heavily into plot-driven writing, which is why I find his books page-turners. I do enjoy easy reads with a decent quality of writing. Because of this I like to pair a Baldacci alongside other heavier reads; I can count on him to keep up my reading momentum while “resting” from other challenging reads.

A fast-paced 'page turner' to listen to while I was walking the dog.

Explosions, shooting, action... Just the kind of fluff I needed.
