À propos de cet audio

In this fast-paced historical thriller, the #1 New York Times bestselling author introduces Archer, a WWII veteran forced to investigate a small-town murder -- or risk returning to prison.
It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of do's and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job -- and don't ever associate with loose women.

The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail. Within a single night, his search for gainful employment -- and a stiff drink -- leads him to a local bar, where he is hired for what seems like a simple job: to collect a debt owed to a powerful local businessman, Hank Pittleman.

Soon Archer discovers that recovering the debt won't be so easy. The indebted man has a furious grudge against Hank and refuses to pay; Hank's clever mistress has her own designs on Archer; and both Hank and Archer's stern parole officer, Miss Crabtree, are keeping a sharp eye on him.

When a murder takes place right under Archer's nose, police suspicions rise against the ex-convict, and Archer realizes that the crime could send him right back to prison . . . if he doesn't use every skill in his arsenal to track down the real killer.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"One of [Baldacci's] finest books. Great character, great story, great portrait of an era."—Bill Clinton
"David Baldacci is a master storyteller, and he invokes the classic feel of the post-war 1940s evident in the timeless literature and film of that time. A sympathetic hero and a cast of mysterious citizens in a small town summon familiar themes one expects in a Baldacci novel, and he once again doesn't disappoint."—Associated Press
"Insightful and entertaining, Baldacci has captured the time and events perfectly with authenticity, beauty and flawless prose . . . Archer is a terrific anti-hero with plenty of longevity and originality [and] the supporting cast is just as memorable. Gripping from beginning to end."—New York Journal of Books
"Baldacci has crafted an ingenious and addicting read in which each paragraph provides a new revelation. The time period and writing style immediately called to mind the works of the immortal James M. Cain . . . [a] terrific slice of crime noir."—Bookreporter.com
"Mega-selling mystery writer David Baldacci's latest takes us back in time and introduces a new series protagonist that may become one of his most popular . . . a captivating page-turner."—The Florida Times-Union
"David Baldacci switches gears with magnificent results . . . simmering suspense and splendid prose . . . Terrific-reading entertainment."—Providence Journal
"Baldacci nails the setting -- capturing everything from the way things looked back in 1949 to how people spoke, adding realism and authenticity to the story. The characters are developed nicely, especially Archer, who flashes real star power throughout . . . Fast-paced and packed with plenty of suspense."—The Real Book Spy
"One Good Deed is an uproarious, tangled-web tale . . . David Baldacci knows how to pleasurably wind us up."—The Washington Book Review
"Baldacci is a master of pace and plotting, and One Good Deed doesn't let up on the throttle. A good ´40s noir."—Historical Novel Society

The story was very intriguing in that the plot made you think about where the plot was going, without being intrusive, horrific, etc.

Intriguing without being unsettling

This is one of the best books I’ve purchased through Audible, and certainly one of David Baldacci’s finest. A terrific story, a complex mystery. Eduardo Ballerini is a truly fine narrator/story-teller. Well done all around.

A Terrific Story, with an Intriguing New Character

I believe this is a new character for David Baldacci and one that I really like already. There were some very unexpected twists and turns in the plot lines. I found the characters well developed, interesting and unusual. Overall a real page turner; I frequently listen to books in my car and I found myself driving around the block a few times to finish an extra chapter or two.

Interesting twists

The narrator tells the story and paints the picture of a time right after the war - the notation is all right but you just need to know that it’s honestly like listening to a Carey Grant movie.

Like a slow movie from the 1920’s

I did enjoy this book quite a lot. The only negative is that I have read most of Baldacci’s other books and didn’t love this as much as his other series or stand alone books. Maybe it was the time period....not sure. Great book, just not as good as his others.

It’s a good book but...
