Book Review: The Camel Club by David Baldacci

First Baldacci book, but will not be the last.

"Camel Club" was my first David Baldacci book, and it will not be the last. It feels fantastic to discovery an author whose writing style you enjoy and who has a lot of books you can read/listen to. After a back surgery I need to walk as exercise, and a good audio book makes me want to do my exercises. This book did a splendid job at that - it made me want to keep walking and finding out the rest of the story.

When I was in the middle of my second Baldacci book  I realize "Camel Club" was part of the series and it was a pleasant surprise when a second randomly picked book ("Divine Justice") turned out to have the same hero (Oliver Stone). I was delighted! However, I realized that it would be helpful to figure out the order in which to read the books as the story references to previous adventures. It does not prevent one from enjoying the book not knowing the details of references, but the writing makes you care about the hero and I think reading the series in order would enhance the enjoyment.

My plan is to read all David Baldacci books, so I put this list together with all the books and which series they belong to.
