Classic entertaining Pendergast book, nothing specific to say about this one. Best thriller series and it wrapped up a lot of things I was getting ever so slightly tired of

I was a bit nervous about how this book would go after reading The Cabinet of Dr. Leng and having a massive plot twist to rule all plot twists. I think I actually scoffed when it happened!

So, when I picked up Angel of Vengeance, I kept myself in check and hoped the plot would make sense.

It ended up being just as fun to read as Pendergast books tend to be. I enjoyed the action, plot, and loved the ending. I always have such a great time reading these books!

And the epilogue?! Preston & Child are complete monsters after having my mind explode like that.

Definitely read Pendergast #21 before tackling this new book.
In fact, you should just start at the beginning of the series. There's too many overlapping plot points, characters, deaths, redemptions, ect, ect.
I honestly need a flow chart at this point!

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 for that epilogue.

I just wish the antagonist had been as scary and dangerous as everyone kept saying he was.
