Baldacci = Clancy = Ludlum.
Predictable, formulaic, and stereotypical. And there's nothing really wrong with that.
You can be pretty much assured of a good read, interesting plot twists, and strong leading characters in a thriller when you choose any of these authors' books.
"The Hit" does offer an interesting female lead, which made it fun beach/Vacation reading for me.

Great book!! The twists and turns, this book kept me on my toes.

The Hit by David Baldacci
Each of the hit men had jobs to do. When one messed up the other was ordered to take them out.
Love the very descriptive details and research of how she can only use one location along the brick wall and how to fix the holes she'd have to make for the scope and rifle and patch them up afterwards.
The other was going to have to be on his game to catch her. They were both in the top of their classes and can move freely and continue their everyday life's without a suspicion.
Send a killer to kill a killer. She's got the latest technology in th form of a key that would trace her steps and give her all kinds of other important information.
The Central Intelligence needed her to be gone and the Blue Man and the man even higher up met with Will Robee and gave him the USB to study Jessica Real's information to help find and eliminate her.
He had a wife and children. She had been engineered from childhood to do what she does.
Love how she calculates her moves. When he is right on her trail she calls him with a riddle. He's picked up something that links the two crimes together.
She tries to make him doubt his actions and tells the Blue Man that she's climbing up the ladder and he will be soon on the hit list from her.
The story goes back in time and we learn all the connections with the leaders to Jessica and Will...
Lots of action, adventure, travel and fast pace. Loved it!

4 stars - This is the second book in the Will Robie series and the third one i've read because i read the novella Bullseye before this one. I really enjoy Will Robie and the addition of Jessica Reel to the story is a good one. However, I was hoping for the reappearance of the protagonist from book 1. Nevertheless, the story is well told and dribbled out slowly enough to hold your interest as you begin to piece things together.

Enjoyable quick read.

God gang, god action - igjen :-)

The first half of the novel raved along and kept the reader engaged. The second half fell apart, and then just dribbled to a stop.

This isn't as tight a novel as his previous one, but thanks to the characters it remains a solid read.

good page turner... nice plot...
