Dream Town“ третата част от поредицата „Арчър“ предлага едно вълнуващо пътешествие към 50-те години на XX век със златната ера на Холивуд, красивите актриси и едно класическо детективско приключение.

I greatly enjoyed reading that change of pace set in the past, as well as Archer’s chivalrous character.Dream Town (2022) continues the journey of Baldacci's late 1940's/early 1950's hardboiled detective character Aloysius Archer who was introduced in One Good Deed (2019) with a follow-up in A Gambling Man (2021). Highly recommended and no real need to read the earlier two books although it is probably more fun if you do.

Whilst visiting her home to collect his fee and have the contract signed, he stumbles across a dead body before being knocked out. It makes me feel very optimistic about the future of the series, and the fact that we are going to see more of Aloysius Archer. Being a private investigator is a dangerous business and 'even good guys can make bad choices when things get desperate.Last year, Baldacci brought Archer back for his second outing – “A Gambling Man” – which continued his journey into California during 1950 and solving another mystery. Archer is not for me and, Heaven forbid, this series continues, I won’t be wasting any more time on it. This case will take Archer on a wild ride through the rich and famous, people who have the money and means to think they can et away with anything.

and where the powerful people responsible for his client’s disappearance will kill without a moment’s hesitation if they catch Archer on their trail.I would like to thank both Netgalley and Pan Macmillan for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she'd given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then. Archer cleverly works his way through the many layers of this mystery, almost getting killed more than once.

His books are published in over 45 languages and in more than 80 countries, with 150 million copies sold worldwide. While there is little chance Aloysius will have any crossovers with characters in Baldacci’s other series, I see a lot of great possible interactions as the series progresses. His backstory is always coming up, but it is the great character development that keeps the reader enthralled.

A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy.
