This book is my favorite in the Camel Club series by far! The story was filled with so many twists & turns that is was quite the breathless ride. I couldn't put it down for the last half & felt like I held my breath the entire time I was reading!
It tells the story of Soviet & American spies during the Cold War. Without giving too much away there is a great deal of murder & treason involved...along with a great con. I am in love with the character of Annabelle Conroy & so glad that Baldacci decided to bring her along for the ride in this installment too. Looking forward to the next chapter in the Camel Club saga!!!!

What a great cozy – even thought this book (#5) was the first I had read in this series, by chapter three the main characters all felt like old friends. The story is full of twists and turns that kept me guessing right up to the end, and the author’s smooth writing style kept the story flowing. If you’ve read any of the Soup Lover’s Mysteries, you should love this one. If not, now’s as good a time as any to start – you don’t need to have read the previous books to enjoy this story, and I did enjoy it!

NOTE: I received a free copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.

I actually downloaded this as part of Apples iTunes 12 days the year before last (2010), but only got round to reading it recently when I saw the trailer for the movie, and realized it was still outstanding. I'm going to sum up my impression in 5 words: "I wish I hadn't bothered".

The reason for that is not so much in the style of writing (first person, flows well enough) but simply that nothing seems to happen for the entire book - it never gripped me; never made me want to read just another chapter to see what would happen next. In short, I found it to be lacking any kind of grip at all.
