This is the 3rd in the Will Robbie series. I love Baldacci thrillers. I was introduced by a friend some twelve years ago when I was working my way through James Patterson’s Cross series and assorted novels by Nelson Demille. Since reading my first novel, First Family, I have been a fan.
What I enjoy about Baldacci is the the care he takes in the portrayal of his characters. They are so well-written - through description, action, plot, and conversation, you learn about the character as you progress through the novel. The plots are always well-researched and well-written at an enjoyable pace. And in the end, you may find yourself, as I often do, nodding to yourself at how believable the storyline really is.
The Target is no different. Although it is part of a series, it is easily read as a stand alone. Two of the CIA’s top assassins are given an assignment in North Korea which leads them to Nantucket Island. The book kept my interest until the last page. Even though the ending is predictable, there is always an element of wonder until the last chapter.
Thumbs up on another good read! Highly recommend!
