Title: A heap of clichés
Product review: I enjoy a good thriller as much as the next man, and I liked the first couple of Baldacci novels. Hour Game, however, has got to be one of the worst novels I've ever read. It's nothing more than a formulaic, predictive heap of clichés, and even though clichés can sometimes be put to good and effective use by skilful thriller writers, that certainly isn't the case here. One piece of good advice for Baldacci: letting the bad guy kill off all other possible suspects before the halfway point of the novel doesn't exactly increase the suspense.So, Reader, beware: stay far away from this one. It reads like a very poor B-movie transcribed by an especially unimaginative plagiarist.
