Kill Shot

George Guidall returns with the signature storytelling style he has created for the majority of Flynn's Mitch Rapp series. His deep, authentic voice adds weight and complexity this the fast-paced thriller. In this episode, CIA super-agent Rapp is pursing another terrorist, this one associated with the Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland. When the assignment goes awry and innocent civilians are harmed, Rapp works to clear his name and identify the mole amid his CIA handlers. Guidall's skill keeps the listener engaged with the suspense, passion, and violence. He has a strong command of tone and accents as he moves between male and female, American and European characters with ease. Guidall is an excellent way to experience Flynn.

CIA assassin Mitch Rapp is sent to Paris to eliminate a Libyan terrorist. Only his supervisors should know of this operation, but Rapp's cover is blown, and he barely escapes. Certain that there is a mole, he sets off to unearth the traitor while trying to stay alive. This is Flynn at his best, and Mitch Rapp fans hoping for a solid follow-up to 2010's American Assassin won't be disappointed. George Guidall is one of the finest narrators around, and he brings his expertise to this tautly written and highly suspenseful thriller. VERDICT Flynn, Rapp, and Guidall are a winning trifecta; for every collection. [The Atria/Emily Bestler hc was a New York Times best seller.--Ed.]--Joseph L.
