I believe this book is well worth the money. I really enjoyed the readers - as their voices completed the look of the characters. As usual, Mr Baldacci keeps you on your toes with the fast moving story and you worry about these people as the plot thickens. " This is a really good story - and the characters become very real.

His chapters are 3-10 pages, so it is very easy to say, "Well, I'll read just one more!" A great read for anyone who enjoys interesting thrillers with a historical/governmental context and flavor. Of course, I have to now read the next one to see how the cliffhanger on this one unfolds! I also love Baldacci's pacing (although it has cost me many a late night). This is the second installment of their adventures, and I just love every minute of it. The Camel Club is an organization of disenfranchised former (and current) government employees who always seem to be in the thick of things and have a unique combination of skills that help them stay alive while solving dangerous crimes. The first part of this book, I was trying and trying to figure out how the two seemingly disconnected stories were going to tie together, and then BAM. He does such a wonderful job of character development and plot timing. I think he is my guilty pleasure when it comes to books. In "The Collectors," #1 "New York Times" bestselling author Baldacci once again demonstrates why he is one of the world's favorite writers. People are dropping dead in Washington, D.C., and the Camel Club must unravel a secret that threatens to bring America to its knees.
