Divine Justice

Customer Rating:
Summary: An Exciting, Engrossing Read
Comment: In another Camel Club adventure, we find Oliver Stone, aka John Carr, guilty of two murders and on the run. He disappears from D.C. and wants to protect his friends by completely disengaging from them. Putting loyalty before their safety, the Camel Club refuses to stop looking for Stone, and their search may cost Stone his life.

This was fast-paced, and I had trouble putting it down. Another fine work from David Baldacci.

Summary: Divine Justice
Comment: I have enjoyed the "Camel Club" stories and must admit that this one was the most enjoyable because the "perils" never ceased until the very end. I think that the main characters have been given more fullness in this book than in his previous stories. This may be a maturity of writing that has been adapted by Mr. Baldacci over the years but it is a better read now.

I do look forward to his next book and hope that this prolific writer is still willing to create new adventures and new characters.

Summary: Best Camel Club Yet
Comment: Best Camel Club Yet
David Baldacci writes a superb thriller with Divine Justice. He weaves together 2 very interesting plots into one action packed novel with many twists and turns. The central thesis revolves around the enigmatic John Carr (aka Oliver Stone) and his attempt to escape the dangerous world of Washington Intelligence after he assassinates two prominent government officials. During his travels he accidentally finds himself embroiled in the mysterious activities of a bucolic Virginia town named Divine. One thing leads to another as he finds himself becoming more and more involved in the strange goings on and even stranger local inhabitants. Couple all this with a massive CIA manhunt for Mr. Stone by the "Company's" best "finder" and you have the makings of a very good story. Needless to say all the usual suspects are present, but what makes the story so interesting is not everyone is who they appear to be. The Camel Club eventually arrives in force to help Oliver Stone, and in the hunt by the CIA's finder, Joe Knox, old revelations of Stone's past come to light that somewhat mitigate his actions. Wrapped up in all this is a master CIA spy who has an old score to settle with Stone, and an evil local super-max prison warden who is dealing in drugs. It all comes together in a climatic conclusion with the good guys winning despite taking some sad losses.
Simply a good story with intersecting plots and dynamic characters. This is undoubtedly the best Camel Club story to date as the characters grow into their individual parts.
Character development is good as Mr. Baldacci continues to expand on each main character. With each Camel Club story we learn more and more about this eclectic band of self-styled investigators. With the introduction of some new characters, it will be very interesting to see if and/or where Mr. Baldacci goes next. There are many possibilities and they all seem good.
No gratuitous sex, language, or violence.
Recommended. Simply a good, solid story with 2 interesting plots. I am looking forward to the next Camel Club adventure.

Comment: This Camel Club edition is simply a fantastic read. If you love David Baldacci (as I do) you will love this book. If you have never read one of his books, you will fall in love with him after reading Divine Justice. I also highly recommend Michele Cozzens' It's Not Your Mother's Bridge Club
