If you like reading these Agent Pendergast books, then this one should not disappoint.
Quite a surprise opening, as we start 12 years previous with Pendergast, before he joined the FBI, and his rarely mentioned wife on vacation in Africa. A terrible accident occurs and his wife is killed. Flick forward to the present day and we learn just why the family lawyer came to visit Pendergast at the end of Cemetery Dance. This leads to a quite remarkable "Pendergast moment", when the most trivial of observations results in the rapid deduction that his wife was actually murdered - and so with the help of ever faithful D'Agosta, the pair set out to hunt for the culprit(s) with Pendergast discovering that his wife kept a few secrets to herself... Expect lots of deaths and injuries, chases and puzzles as the mystery unfolds.
Much of the story is played out within Louisiana, so we learn more about Pendergast's childhood home(s) in New Orleans and his extended family. We also advance Constance Greene's story, after she had returned to Tibet at the end of The Wheel Of Darkness.
There's also a little teaser at the end, which presumably is where the next book will begin.

Once again Preston and Child produce another superb episode in the Pendergast series - I have read them all and they are my favourite series of all time. I love all the characters and the way the stories are written. Pendergast is so far removed from your 'normal' leading character and the plot lines are so cleverly interwoven you cannot out guess where the story is going. The only disappointing thing for me was ending the book, and as one of the previous reviewers has said - this is obviously where the next one is going to continue and I hate having to wait 18mnths/2 years for the next one to be released!!
If anyone has not read this series then please do - you will not be disappointed. I wish I could start at the beginning all over again.

I can never wait for a new Pendergast's novel by Lincoln & Child. This one is the first of the so-called Helen trilogy. You can read it and patiently wait for the second instalment, bearing in mind that the final one won't be out till the end of 2012! It slowly shows you the family of Agent Pendergast and tells you more about the people you have encountered in the privious stories, specially his ward, Constance Green. If you liked Relic and its sequels, you will love this one.

Fever Dream - Excellent
As usual - a great read that I could not put down and made me a bit anti-social until I had reached the end!!!

Fine for a holiday read
Having read all of the earlier books I was slightly disappointed by this one - the story is a bit predictable but the atmosphere created by the writing is as always very good. Read more

The Best Pendergast Novel Yet
What can I say? Preston and Child have done it again - left me wanting more. This is definitely the best one yet. I can't wait for the next one as it was left "open ended". Read more
