Kyf Brewer (Narrator) and Orlagh Cassidy (Narrator)

Will Robie returns home from a mission overseas to discover that his boss--codenamed Blue Man--has vanished.

But there is violence brewing in this small town, and Robie and his sometime-partner Jessica Reel will be lucky if they make it out alive, with or without Blue Man.

3.5
After having seen Will and Jess at their strongest - as assassins in The Target - I'm just let down when they get put back into these detective roles. It is not their strength and while they are smart and skilled, they fumble a lot. Which is a testament to David Baldacci's ability to render his character's believably, though. If they suddenly were like Amos Decker (another Baldacci series where he IS a detective) I would be frustrated at the inaccuracy. I just wish we'd see them as assassins more instead.

I did appreciate the chance to understand Blue Man better and see where he's from. And, as always, they did land in a complicated mess far worse than anticipated when they went looking for him. Ultimately, though, the way they fumbled repeatedly on the mystery made this probably my least favorite. The stains on their relationship further complicated and made this book disappointing. I ultimately enjoyed it as part of the greater series but wonder if I would have given it 3.5 stars without the history and attachment to the characters. Probably not.

The narration continues to be a real treat though and I'm loving listening to the theatrical performance from Kyf Brewer (male voices) and Orlagh Cassidy (female voices).
