It’s like daytime soaps and fbi thrillers had a baby. All we need is some amnesia up in here. I love it.

Finally finished!!!!!

Ugh, this was the absolute worst Pendergast book ever! Hard to believe it was written by the same authors!

A tedious, stupidly weird murder mystery set in dark and smelly marshes. Nothing overall important happened except in the last two pages.

Don't read this. Read a recap and let's hope the next one will be better, because I already own it.

another Pendergast novel. Entertaining. If you are a fan, this has a surprising ending, a must read.

I might be biased because I love Pendergast. I did not see the twist coming! It was SO SUPRISING OMG.

Half way thru it turns to stupidity.

Preston & Child return with the 15th Pendergast novel and I kind of wish they hadn't. The upside is the continued growth of Constance as an investigator in her own right, learning from Pendergast but also willing to strike out to follow her own clues when she must.

The rest is just too far overboard, leaving the realm of mystery thriller and bringing my suspension of disbelief crashing to the ground.

Once again Pendergast goes beyond his original memory palace to practice Chongg Ran. His abilities to recreate the past in his Tibetan-learned Chongg Ran trance are one of the hardest parts for me to swallow, no matter which title, but here it is possibly the least absurd of events and leads to the most satisfying conclusion in the novel. Too bad the book didn't end there.

I miss the days when there was no back story or other drama than pendergast solving a crime. I hate the character Constance.
