Our view
“The Collectors” is a solid second outing for Baldacci’s Camel Club, a band of Washington misfits drawn into conspiracy and murder. Led by a former CIA-trained assassin who calls himself Oliver Stone, the group runs into theft, killings and hidden motives across almost five hundred pages. Some readers feel the tension slackens in the middle of the book. It reads best after the first Camel Club novel.
