Publisher's Summary
Murder and family secrets, a touch of romance and deeply felt revenge - with the twist of all twists - make up the ingredients of One Good Deed. A gripping audiobook for all those who love mystery, crime, Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie from one of the world's favourite thriller writers, David Baldacci.
In 1949, Aloysius Archer arrives in the dusty Southern town of Poca City. He has nothing but a handful of dollars, the clothes he’s wearing and an appointment with his new parole officer. After his wartime experiences in Italy and a prison sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, Archer is looking for a fresh start and a peaceful life.
On his first night of freedom, Archer meets local business tycoon Hank Pittleman, who promises Archer handsome compensation to work as his debt collector. Yet Archer takes on more than he bargains for, as he becomes embroiled in a long-running feud between the drought-struck town’s most dangerous residents. When one of them dies, the authorities label Archer as their number one suspect.
A bloody game is being played above and below the law. Everybody playing has a deeply buried secret, and Archer must uncover them all - if he’s to avoid going back behind bars.

Performance
I really enjoyed the story and loved the nostalgia but found the narrative a little off putting. (Bit young)

Amazing
Narrator's range of voices for all characters is a real talent.
This is not the first of David Baldacci book I have become addicted to but the first time hearing one.
I can't wait to choose the next one now.

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

Story was good
Woulda, coulda, should had a female voice. Archer could have told his back story more before being trusted by police. He was a suspect one minute then an investigator
