David Baldacci has the most inexplicable way of telling a story. I get so excited when a new release comes from him. I love a good standard when it comes to mystery, but don't get me wrong. A good standard doesn’t mean the same old-same old. It’s the quality of standard that David Baldacci maintains in his work. Dream Town, book three in the Archer series, has everything I wanted and more. Literally from page one, the smile is affixed and firmly in place. It’s an exercise in mental calculations. Who, what, when, where. All the things that make a mystery great.
I mean let’s be realistic, he is THE gold star in the genre and I am forever a fan. Dream Town was absolute perfection. I enjoyed every moment and I can’t wait for more.

Private investigator and World War II veteran Aloysius Archer heads to Los Angeles, the city where dreams are made and shattered, and is ensnared in a lethal case in this latest thriller in #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci’s Nero Award-winning series.
It’s the eve of 1953, and Aloysius Archer is in Los Angeles to ring in the New Year with an old friend, aspiring actress Liberty Callahan, when their evening is interrupted by an acquaintance of Callahan’s: Eleanor Lamb, a screenwriter in dire straits.
After a series of increasingly chilling events—mysterious phone calls, the same blue car loitering outside her house, and a bloody knife left in her sink—Eleanor fears that her life is in danger, and she wants to hire Archer to look into the matter. Archer suspects that Eleanor knows more than she’s saying, but before he can officially take on her case, a dead body turns up inside of Eleanor’s home . . . and Eleanor herself disappears.
Missing client or not, Archer is dead set on finding both the murderer and Eleanor. With the help of Callahan and his partner Willie Dash, he launches an investigation that will take him from mob-ridden Las Vegas to the glamorous world of Hollywood to the darkest corners of Los Angeles—a city in which beautiful faces are attached to cutthroat schemers, where the cops can be more corrupt than the criminals . . . 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.
