Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Ron McLarty’s and Orlagh Cassidy’s dynamic duet in The Hit is nothing short of spectacular. McLarty nails the authoritative yet vulnerable tone needed to portray the seasoned assassin, while Cassidy brings depth to the supporting characters without overshadowing Will Robie. The pacing is impeccable, with Baldacci effortlessly weaving complex plot threads that keep you guessing until the very end. However, some sequences feel slightly rushed, particularly towards the climax, which could have benefited from a bit more detail and character development. Overall, this audiobook delivers an intense and thrilling ride that any fan of mystery and thriller genres won’t want to miss.
