Former Secret Service agents turned private investigators, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, return in their most surprising, personal and dangerous case to date. Michelle had chased many things in her life. As a track star and later Olympic rower, she had constantly pitted herself against others in races. As a cop in Tennessee she had run down her share of felons fleeing the scenes of their crimes. As a Secret Service Agent she had been fleet of foot next to limos carrying important leaders.

Contender for Baldacci's worst book...
Revisado: 01-13-14
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
absolutely the worst book Baldacci has written with its trite characters and unbelievable plot. The story would be looked down upon the most derring do fifth formers.Can't think who would enjoy it. I must admit on name alone I listened until part 2 but in the 200 odd books I have chosen from audio books this is the first I have not finished.
What was most disappointing about David Baldacci’s story?
Just the absolute triteness of the oh too macho characters ,including Maxwell, and the heavy so-called humour of her slovenishness.
What three words best describe Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s voice?
Soap operaish
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Pity that such a good talent would put his name to this rubbish
Any additional comments?
No will not waste any more words

Would you consider the audio edition of Heartshot to be better than the print version?
Yes I think it may well be, as Rusty gives a brilliant believable performance
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
No I don't think its that kind of book
What about Rusty Nelson’s performance did you like?
The voice exactly matches the character and the attitudes he adopts.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Thats not my type of listen-- however I couldn't wait to go walking the following day.
Any additional comments?
Only that I have already bought No 2 in the series. Is that testament enough ?

Thoroughly enjoyed the book and expert use of language. Superbly read.
Can perhaps appreciate how some of the idiom might be be hard for some cultures ––however no worse than many of the "americanisms" with which we have to come to terms.

Government assassin John Rain is a man trying to leave his violent past behind. But after tracking him down in Brazil, his former employers, the CIA, persuade him to take on a high-risk assignment, one to which his particular skills are well suited: to terminate with extreme prejudice a man who deserves to die. For Rain, the death of an evil man offers a shot at redemption. But before he can even get close, Rain will have to draw on his formidable talents just to survive.

For thriller listeners Rain definitely becomes the third "R" and ranks with Rapp and Reacher. Well developed character whose forte is in the martial arts .
Book is brilliantly read and retains excitement to third last page.

Excellence in an audiobook

Great story, absolutely beautifully told with great accents in the characters and you can see them as well as hearing their voices. Nobody could award less than 5 stars, with the story keeping you in suspense the whole way.
