The Innocent by David Baldacci

4.0

I've only read one other David Baldacci novel, First Family, and loved it. I kept meaning to pick up another. Took long enough but well worth it.

This book was a joy to read. Fast paced. I never felt like putting it down. The character of Will Robie is, technically, cliché. A hit man with a heart of gold. However, the writing never had me rolling my eyes. Teaming him up with a young girl, similar to the Professional right down to watching her parents die, also could have seemed like a bad reboot. Yet I enjoyed their interactions and found myself drawn into the conspiracy.

A fun read and a just the thing for satisfying your action fix.
