A review by kartiknarayanan
Two Graves by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
3.0
Two Graves is a damp squib of a finale to the 'Helen' trilogy. For a trilogy that started off well, it ends up being another Nazi fest with a massive deux ex machina at the climax. There is too little detection and too many slug fests.
I am also starting to dislike Pendergast as a character. In the beginning of the series, his eccentricities were fun but at the core he appeared to be a decent guy. This book brings out the worst in him and he goes out of his way to piss people off. Unfortunately, barring what he does at the moment, there is no real growth as a a character. Has he learnt something? Is there a moment of self-awareness? Nope.
Again, another so-so entry in the Pendergast series.
