alliepeduto 's review for:

A Gambling Man by David Baldacci
2.0

DNF…I’ve read a lot of Baldacci novels over the years, but this one wasn’t quite cutting it for me. I think the imitation of a hard boiled mystery came off as just that: an imitation. Full disclosure, I don’t like the “authentic” 1930s/40s hard boiled mysteries anyway, so it’s really not a knock on this book per se. But still, it was an interesting foray for the author!
