: The Collectors (Camel Club Series): Baldacci, David: Books.
While Annabelle and Milton were meeting with the architects, Stone had ventured into the neighborhood where Bob Bradley had lived. People just could not bring themselves to be suspicious about someone walking a pet. Stone had no idea, of course, that Roger Seagraves had used the same ploy in making his escape after killing Bradley.
As he strolled down the street, he could see that all that was left of the town house was a blackened mass of toppled studs and a scorched brick chimney.
Stone looked around the area. It was not a particularly affluent part of town. Being a congressman was not the financial windfall that some people thought it was. Members had to maintain two residences, one in their home state and one in the capital city, and the cost of housing in D. Some congressmen, particularly newer ones, often shared homes in Washington or even slept in their offices for this reason. Yet the veteran Bradley had lived alone. Milton managed to get Stone background information on the man, and Stone had also consulted the journals kept at his hiding place.
Together they had presented an overall picture of Bradley. With his death at age fifty—nine, he left behind a wife and two grown children, all back in Kansas. From what Stone could learn the man had been honest and his career never threatened by scandal. His stated purpose of cleaning up the Congress could very well have made him many powerful enemies and led to his death. Some might conclude that assassinating a man who was third in line to succeed the president would be too audacious a move.
However, Stone knew that was a pipe dream: If one could kill presidents, nobody was safe. He stopped next to a tree so Goff could take a leak. Stone could sense the presence of authority all around him. Copyright Disclaimer: This site does not store any files on its server. We only index and link to content provided by other sites.

I can hardly wait for the next three books audios in the series to arrive. It helps to read hear them in sequence, as most writers refer to charactors and events presented in previous books. I strongly recommend the Camel Club series. DB is very creative. Good book, once all the characters were introduced. Unfortunately, it took 2 CDs for this to occur. By the 3rd CD the story has you. I couldn't wait to get back in the car. Love me some Camel Club.
These characters are so real, so well defined, so personal. LOVE it. Another hit in this series. GREAT narration, wonderful story, even an ending that makes you wonder if we won't hear from darling Annabelle again. GREAT read. A typical Baldacci novel, with several interesting subplots intertwined. The conclusion was not at all obvious. I looked forward to my drive into work just to listen.
This is a botched production of good suspense novel. Why the absurd narration? The main narrator was annoying, the female narrator used the same voice for every woman in the story, as did the second male narrator with all his charactors. The result was a collection of voice amateurs messing up a decent David Baldacci yarn.
The high note of The Collectors was the introduction of a great new charactor in Annabelle. The producers of this audiobook should have stuck with Jonathan Davis, the excellent narrator of The Camel Club. Another hit! This is my second novel of this series. Davis never disappoints me! As opposed to many of the other reviews, I liked the different narrators for male and female voices and I didn't have any trouble distinguishing the voices for each character.
This whole series is a great thriller series with interesting characters. I highly recommend them but definitely try to read them in order if you can. I enjoyed the book. Despite having read all 3 books in the Camel Club Series in hardcover listening to it was a pleasure. I look forward to listening to 'Stone Cold' which picks up the story line of The Collectors. I do agree with the reviews that the narration was annoying. Actually, the multiple voices were not as bad as the main narrator who followed the other voices' dialogue with "he said with remorse" or "she exclaimed excitedly".
It would have been far less annoying if the same voice followed their own dialogue with the "he said" or "she exclaimed" descriptives. Towards the end of the book, I finally got use to these awkward changes in voice that occured in the same sentence I am giving this book only 4 stars because the first book in this series The Camel Club was so good that I kept comparing this book unfairly to the wonderful character development in the first book.
Also,this was the first tiime I ever experienced three narrators and I couldn't decide if I liked the technique or if it distracted me. All in all though, I enjoyed this book and was not disappointed by finding out once again that Baldacci is an excellent mystery writer.
