I am going back to review some of the titles that I belatedly forgot to review in the past. While I am chagrined that I never got around to a review, I still am glad that I got around to reading The Innocent. Baldacci, whose writing style greatly reminds me of John Grisham, never disappoints: fast, easy-to-read, engrossing plots that will keep the pages turning...AND win new fans. You will be glad you read this!

I have to apologize for not being able to post a review for this book before it was archived. I love David Baldacci's books so much and really was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, between 2012 and 2021 I had to have 12 surgeries on my low back and neck and spent so much time in the hospital with infections and recovering from surgeries, that I just wasn't mentally, and even sometimes physically, able to put together a review and type it up. I have finally over the past year returned to a somewhat normal life., although I was left with numerous disabilities following all the surgeries, and I'm trying to get back to one of the things I love the most: reading books and reviewing them. So, again, I'm very sorry that I've been out of commission, and I hope you will pass on my regrets to the author.

It begins with a hit gone wrong. And Will Robbie refuses to kill. He becomes a target himself and he ends up on the run with a 14 year old girl whose parents were murdered. Lots of twists and turns.
