It's rare I don't love a Baldacci book, but this one was exceptionally good, I thought. Well, it must have been, since I spent most of my day Sat. reading it and finished the whole thing in a day.
I think the Camel Club series is his best group of books. In this one, the leader of the Camel Club is on the run after some things happened based on earlier events in his life, and his friends band together to help him out. In addition to his trying to escape the big bad government guys after him, he's uncovering the deep dark secrets of the small town he's escaped to. Both plots in the book were equally engaging. Can't wait to read the next one!

Really enjoyed this book. It started out a little slow, mainly because it sort of rehashed some things from the last book (which I had just finished). But once it got started I really enjoyed it! I wonder if this is the last book in the Camel Club series?

This is the sequel to [b:Stone Cold|627984|Stone Cold (Camel Club, #3)|David Baldacci|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51v810u4DfL._SL75_.jpg|614327], where protagonist Oliver Stone had just dived off a high cliff after assassinating the CIA chief. Divine Justice picks up from there and Oliver leaves Washington DC and his Camel Club friends behind and, through a chance encounter on a train, goes to ground in a small town in Virginia.
But a number of mysterious accidents and a disputed suicide lead Oliver to start asking questions. Before long there's an attempt on his own life, and all the while the CIA's best investigator is closing in on him.
There's plenty of dubious coincidences and dodgy plotholes but the pace is sufficient to distract from these and keep one interested. There's a decent finale and the ending is basically a setup for a further sequel. There's life in the old Camel yet!

What I Loved: The 2 simultaneous stories worked well in parallel. When they finally came together it was a very good ending to the story. Stone and Knox were great anti-heroes, they both were trying to do what they had to knowing that they were caught between a rock and a hard place. Annabelle was a fantastic character also as a 3rd player in this thriller.
What I Liked: The pacing of this book was pretty good. It did lag a bit at times but picked up pretty quickly. You don't have to read these books in order. This is the first one I have read and never once felt lost.
Complaints: None
Audio Review: I loved the narrator Ron McLarty, he was perfect for this book. The music chapter changes though I am not a huge fan of and they were a bit distracting.
Why I gave this a 4: It was a good story from beginning to end. The plot was solid and the characters believable.
Who I would recommend this too: People who enjoy political thrillers and enjoy intrigue.

Oliver Stone could've gone anywhere in the world. He ended up in Divine.
The Camel Club's penultimate adventure in Divine Justice was the most exciting edition since the series opener.
Stone is on the run from murdering the two men who ordered him to murder on their behalf. His derailed escape lands him in a southwestern Virginia mining community.
The town's dark secrets grip the surviving members of the Club and land them behind the wheel, behind the badge, and behind bars.
I didn't want this one to stop, and the twists at the end were exhilarating. I can only hope the final book lives up to the excitement in Divine and the conclusion Stone and his friends deserve.
