the collectors by David Baldacci .
I have just finished reading the collectors by David Baldacci. This book was published in paperback in 2007. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this thriller. David Baldacci is a prolific author - a master of writing thrillers and on the strength of the collectors I would be very happy to buy his other books.
This book is full of detail, the pace is fast and everything fits together. If you enjoy the TV series Spooks , then you should like this book. A con artist called Annabelle pulls 2 short cons and 1 long con whilst far away some murders are taking place. This novel is set in America and is a story of gambling, politics and espionage. David Baldacci cleverly links these 2 story lines together into 1 huge jigsaw of a story. The reader discovers each piece of this jigsaw and everything is explained.
The structure of this book is classic. A tremendous amount of work has gone into this novel so that everything fits in tight and this book reads like clockwork. It is very involved but everything adds up. There are no loose ends or gaps.
At the end of the book you think "WOW! - that is how somethings can be done". You then wonder how much of this goes on in real life. I cannot fault this book at all.
