One of his finest books. Great character, great story, great portrait of an era (Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of America)
One Good Deed represents David Baldacci’s move into historical crime with a new character, ex- jailbird Aloysius Archer . . . Unsurprisingly, the talented Baldacci proves to be as adept in this new venture as he is in his contemporary-set novels
A fast-paced investigation with dark secrets, unexpected twists, well-drawn characters and an intriguing plot
A mile-a-minute read that proves once again why David Baldacci has readers the world over flocking for more (Jane Harper, bestselling author of The Dry)
Alternately chilling, poignant, and always heart-poundingly suspenseful (Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent)
David Baldacci is one of the all-time best thriller authors (Lisa Gardner, author of One Step too Far)
A multi-layered protagonist; a plot as deep and twisty as the setting (Kathy Reichs, author of the Temperance Brennan series)
Mystery and suspense surround a fabulous new character in an enticing, engaging thriller that does not disappoint

Loved the early 50s setting and noir plot and characterisation. Excellent narration too. Could almost have been an old radio play.

Loved it
