Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Will Robbie is the best hitman the agency has. He does the dirty work, the dangerous stuff. He is the one putting his life on the line in clandestine operations, assassinating "human problems". When an agency handler is killed, Robbie is called in to go after Jessica Reel, who supposedly performed the kill. She's as good as Robbie and an agency killer too. Why she suddenly turned sour and goes after her own people is unknown. Robbie, having worked with Jessica before, can not imagine she's doing something without a good reason.
David Baldacci writes good books, I know that, have read a number of his works. But this one is more than good. Not a single chapter where something becomes slightly long-winded. Quite to the contrary, it was always very hard to put the book down and go to sleep (and more than once I stayed up reading longer than I should have...)
