Book Reviews of the Divine Justice (Camel Club)
Customer Review: Baffling plunge: hastily dashed, clumsy & flimsy plot; brutish agency brawling
Summary: 1 Stars
Baldacci long has been one of my favorite authors: solid and clever plot, witty terse style and elegant prose. Hence I felt cheated by what appears to be a hastily dashed together plot ... as if the author tried to meet a publisher's deadline with a (once) successful formula. The result is a drifting aimlessly rambling unimaginative plot, relying on tediously boring brutish fighting--and incongruously lucky victories--substituting for Baldacci's normally substantial and masterful thriller development.
Homeland Insecurity, and intelligence agencies run by bumbling desk warriors with CYA mentality, seem no match for a single loose cannon rogue agent. After a dozen chapters of hoping that the puzzle eventually would fall together, and the actions and motives begin to make sense, I gave up in disgust, exasparated by book jacket promises unmet. "Divine Justice" seems more like a ghost-written "Dubious Legacy" -- utterly devoid of this gifted author's deft touch in sustaining edge-of-seat suspension to the very end.
