Book 11 of 52 – David Baldacci’s The Collectors

As a follow up to his international best seller The Camel Club, David Baldacci returns with a sequel in The Collectors.

The Camel Club is a group of four men who had the mission to keep the American government in check. Given the fact that one of the maintains a cemetery while another is a Reading Room employee at the Library of Congress. They are not powerful or dynamic figures, but they are interesting…

The Collectors finds our lovable bunch of 4 losers getting caught up again in some mystery and intrigue when one of the guys is exposed to the death of his boss. The death is weird and all of a sudden… they are embroiled in more intrigue and mystery.

There is another major plot element that involves a woman con man who rips people off, which was distracting and possibly more interesting than most of the other book.

This really is one of the better beach reads… and I can’t give away too much more in the plot in case you decide to read it.

A woman con man?

Wouldn't con-artist be more appropriate?
