Review: Good Little Short Story
Rating: 4 out of 5

I had pre-ordered this and forgot about it until it showed up on my Kindle this morning.  It's a pretty good short story, but I do want to emphasize the short: it took me about five minutes to read it.  You can usually get a pretty good gauge of how long a Kindle book is by the size (in kilobytes) on the book description page, and I thought this one would be longer at almost 200 KB - it must be the graphics at the end advertising other Baldacci books.The story has an interesting little plot, but not much character development or interaction due to the length of the short story.  However, Baldacci does a good job of getting you interested in the character - this really could have been the outline of a full-length novel, and I think it would be a good diversion for Baldacci as I really haven't liked his last two novels which appear to have been primarily written by others.  You do have a pretty good idea of how the story concludes about 75% of the way through it.To summarize, this is a pretty good short story and Baldacci fans should like it.  I did!
