As I haven't yet read the first Aloysius Archer book, One Good Deed, I can confirm that A Gambling Man can easily be enjoyed as a standalone, particularly as Archer is headed for Bay Town to start a new job as a Private Investigator. A Gambling Man by David Baldacci #BookReview #FirstMondayCrime Evoking the golden age of crime, and for fans of Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie, comes A Gambling Man, from one of the world’s bestselling thriller writers, David Baldacci. Aloysius Archer is on his way to start a new job with a renowned Private Investigator in Bay Town. Although there's an ever-present sense of danger throughout the novel, as the body count rises so does the tension as the immersive scene-setting of the earlier chapters eventually leads to an exciting, nerve-wracking confrontation.  A Gambling Man is historical crime as its most authentic and almost feels like a book written in the period in which it's set, although Archer is perhaps more enlightened than many men of the era. I'm delighted to be sharing my review of A Gambling Man today
