Book Review
While driving to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival, Joe and I listened to David Baldacci’s book “The Guilty”. Will Robi works for the government as an assassin. He is highly trained to eliminate threats to the US before they reach our shores. He has an unsuccessful mission and is second guessing himself. His father, who he has not seen since he departed the small town where he was raised twenty years earlier, is charged with murder. Robi goes back to his home town and has lots of issues to resolve. While trying to find the truth about the murder for which his father is charged, he stumbles unto several challenging issues. Good read.
Until next week…..
