Book Reviews of Stone Cold
Book Review: Great Book, very fast paced!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Baldacci book and I thoroughly enjoyed every page. I am looking forward to reading my next!Book Review: Great conclusion to Baldacci's Camel Trilogy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the third of David Baldacci's books to feature the Camel Club. I do not know if he had three books with the Camel Club in mind initially, but he pulled it off brilliantly. This one, Stone Cold, is better than his last. I will point out that the books are best read in order because each book builds on the one previous.
Two stories unfold, one of which is the conclusion to Annabelle Conroy's saga with Jerry Bagger. Annabelle took the casino owner (and the person responsible for her moms murder) to the cleaners for millions and Jerry does not forget. Meanwhile, Stone has a killer looking for his old comrades in the spook world and then for Stone himself once it slips put that he is alive and well. The book is sometimes told through the eyes of the killer so we can see his reasoning and perspective.
I could not put it down after I started reading it. The plot skips along at a break neck pace and Baldacci keeps you jumping from one location to another. Another great work! I cannot wait for his next.

Book Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
A little bumpy here and there, but for the most part it was very fun and engaging. I go hot and cold with Baldacci and this one is a hot one. Go get it.Book Review: Harry Finn, Please Stand Up
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this fast paced & feel it's the best in the Camel Club Series. The focus is mainly on Oliver, Annabelle, Jerry Bagger, & Harry Finn. Harry Finn? Harry, please introduce yourself.
This series is best read in succession for the full impact of the stories. This edition of Camel Club actually has two stories. One of Jerry Bagger trying to bag Annabelle who conned him badly. The other brings Oliver Stone's intricate, dark past to light.
The book is thoroughly entertaining & will certainly hold your interest.
Mr. Baldacci's choice of Harry Finn as a new character was a good one. I hope you stick around, Harry
Book Review: Haunted by the Past
Summary: 5 Stars
Filled with suspense, thriller, and excitement, Stone Cold is everything I expected from a Baldacci's novel. The author grabbed my attention right from the beginning and held it until the very end of the novel.
Oliver Stone is the leader of the mysterious Camel Club. The Camel Club consists of three other men with different personalities and jobs ranging from a librarian, ex-soldier, and a genius with OCD. In the past, members of the Camel Club have band together to carry out esoteric missions that have saved the life of their leader. The Camel Club may be called on again to help their leader and friend. Stone's past life is threatening to catch-up with his present life. Some of Stone's co-workers from the past are turning up dead. Is it possible that these deaths are not coincidental and that the person/persons responsible for the deaths knows about Stone and wants him dead too. Will Stone's secret life be exposed because of this scandal? Thanks to the former head of the CIA, Carter Gray, Stone might get the opportunity to find out. Gray's connection with a secret ploy to have two of Russia's head of state leaders killed may haunt him and Stone.
I have enticed you enough. You will have to read the book to find out what happens :-)
