The Innocent by David Baldacci

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


SUPERB! Superb, superb, superb. My only regret is that I read book #2 before book #1. As a result, I could see the ending coming. That fact didn't ruin The Innocent for me, but I know I would have been blindsided at the end had I started with book #1.

This story had running and gunning, plot twists, excellent character development and down time to get to know the characters. I even enjoyed Julie and her typical 14-year-old attitude. I believe the word used to describe her in the book was 'precocious.'

Mild foul language, but no F-bombs and chapter after chapter, the focus remained on the protagonist and his companions. I love that! No diversions to find out what happened in the bad guy's childhood that made him the way he is today.

If you enjoy thrillers, government agents, running & gunning, then you MUST READ The Innocent. Baldacci is in the same league as Brad Thor and John Gilstrap with their Scot Harvath and Jonathan Grave series.

My rating: 6 stars (if I could)
