Film Noir in a Book

I usually like Baldacci's writing and this book was no exception. Though this is his second “Archer” book it's the first I've read and I found it quite enjoyable. The style and period for this story was the mid 1940's and read just like the pulps of that time. Almost like watching a film noir unfold in a book. Archer's a good character and I can see where more stories can go with him. Highly recommended.
