Publisher's summary

The US Speaker of the House is assassinated in a terrifyingly precise execution in the heart of Washington, DC. In a quieter corner of the nation's capital, the rare book room of the Library of Congress, a reclusive, wealthy scholar drops dead under mysterious circumstances that leave no clues. Following on the heels of the natural death of the Speaker of the House, the city and the nation begin to tremble. In California, a beautiful but capable woman is planning and executing one of the most brilliant cons on record.

All the while, "Oliver Stone" and his quirky Camel Club stand by and observe as the genius of their collective perspective begins to connect the dots between these seemingly disparate events - and they realize they must act, and act quickly, before their country falls victim to a silent yet bloody coup.

Good book. Glitches/skips in audio

It was a good story. Love Baldaccci. The recording had several glitches or skip in the recording. But frustrating.

Why I gave this book not so great review...

The story was, as are all of Baldacci's books was very good, The problem I had was with the way the book was read! It nearly made me send the book back. Having the narrator say, he said in one voice and then hearing what was said in another voice drove me insane! It was really hard to listen to. The voice of the narrator was not a pleasant voice and it did not match the characters personalities, not to mention the voices of the characters'. To me, it just didn't fit. If had read this book myself I would have really enjoyed it so much more!

Ending

I enjoyed listening to this book. I did not like the ending. I do not like to be left hanging at the end...

Story good, Narration is horrid

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narrators!!!!

How could the performance have been better?

3 narrators made conversation choppy, editing was horrible.

Any additional comments?

If you can "look" past the narration, the storyline is excellent.

Performance distracting

How could the performance have been better?

It was difficult to listen to the performance and nearly abandoned the book because of it. For example, a character says something then the narrator adds, "..., he said." in a different voice. Very distracting. I've sort of gotten used to it, but would not recommend this version.

The characters are highly developed and a good mix.

Good listen that is performed well and has a story that is inventive and fun. Fits well in the series and keeps the listener engaged.

A new member of the Camel Club?

I liked the back story on the newest member but I hated that they left it unfinished.

A great work

After having listened to Baldacci's first book of the series, "The Camel Club" I had to listen to the second. It was very well done! The multiple narrations was a bit different, but didn't disrupt the great story line! Very entertaining. Now onto "Stone Cold" the next in the series.
