"Dream Town" by David Baldacci.
 

Request Rejected

Enjoying this one so far. It covers Hollywood and Las Vegas in the early 1950s from the point of view of a private investigator looking into a murder and the disappearance of a female screenwriter.

Which series is it?

Just started reading 612 thought it was the latest but guess have another one to read after this one/:BigApplause:

The Archer series. It is the 3rd of these. DAVID BALDACCI – ARCHER SERIES | David Baldacci

3rd in a series. If you enjoy 1950 private eye noir, it's pretty good.

I enjoy the Memory Man and Carmel Club series the most. How many books does he write per year?

Does not seem to be a large number of books. He takes his time and does not seem to have a bunch of co-authors.

His production seems to have increased. Wonder if he is using ghost writers but still greatly enjoy his books

Good read ......just finished it the other day. Baldacci is a great writer. I also greatly enjoy W.E.B. Griffin, Lee Child and Vince Flynn.

I love all Baldacci’s books.Best to read them in order.

Have not seen or heard of a Griffin books for some time, is he still writing?

He co-authors these days. He has a 2022 book and another one due in 2023.

Good to know. Thanks.

Wow he is an incredibly prolific writer. Love his books

W.E.B. Griffin died over three years ago. Naturally his best series was The Corps.

huh, I guess they're just using his name then, sorta like Robert B. Parker

Did not know he passed away. Hopefully some of the characters in his books will be continued by others.

No ..... he passed away a year or two ago. His son, who co-authored with him has written some.

Thanks for the recommendation.
