A Minute To Midnight
by David Baldacci
Sometimes an author’s name can be so familiar that you are not sure whether or not you have read their work. David Baldacci is one of those authors – a superstar author. It turns out I had read one previous Baldacci novel that I also really quite enjoyed. That title was [b:One Good Deed|44594114|One Good Deed (Archer, #1)|David Baldacci|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1553583317l/44594114._SY75_.jpg|68280408] and it was probably not representative of the author’s usual style. A Minute To Midnight, I believe is much more what you might expect.
I am actually quite a fan of a good quality, gripping, page turning, popular thriller – basically a good story – and this is what you get here. As with the first Baldacci novel I read, this is quite the page-turner and the story gets off to a cracking start and basically doesn’t let up for the entirety of the novel. It is almost exhausting!
To call it a ‘nuts-and-bolts’ thriller is not to do it a disservice; it is not ground-breaking and it may not win any highfalutin literature prizes but as long as you go into this wanting a great story but not too concerned that some may not describe it as high art, you are going to get what you paid for, and you are going to enjoy it!
