Thoughts

I think I like the Camel Club books slightly less than other David Baldacci series’ becuase there’s an elevated level of politics within them - quite natural given the location and subject matter, but that makes it slightly less interesting to me. However, that being said, I really enjoyed the con side of it, and the mystery surrounding the library and the old books. Plus it ended on something of a cliffhanger, so have no choice but to read the next one.
