I really loved Baldacci's early books. They were so creative in their premises and really felt like something different. His more recent books just don't have the originality or the pizzazz. This book is another one that reads just like the ones before. It is still entertaining, though, just don't expect anything special.
The Hit is another book about Will Robie, the larger-than-life government assassin who seeems indestructible and unbeatable. In this installment, Robie is sent after a co-worker in the assassin program who has gone rogue and is killing members of the CIA. It is his biggest challenge as Jessica Reel is also larger-than-life and extremely capable and has received the same training as Robie. It is complicated by the fact that he knows Reel and begins to wonder about her motivations. Of course, everything ends well.
For the adventure/action type with no intellectual undertones, this book is decent. It's an easy read and goes pretty quickly, although I was kind of ready for it to end earlier than it did.
