Two Graves by Douglas Preston
3.0
I'm a Pendergast fan, but the Helen Trilogy has featured a Pendergast that doesn't really resemble the Pendergast I know and love. I miss the monsters and the museum and the cast of supporting characters and Pendergast using his cleverness and intellect to solve the mysteries that baffle the rest. But this trilogy features more of a James Bond Pendergast, and the supporting characters aren't really part of the main story, they have subplots that don't really tie in to the main story.
That said, of the three books in the Helen Trilogy, this was my favorite. It was fast-moving and kept me reading well into the night. And it did a nice job of closing the book on the mystery around Helen and a few other things as well. Now I just hope by the next Pendergast book, our hero has grieved and moved on and once again embraced the intellectual and clever pursuit of solving the crimes no one else can solve as did the Pendergast of Still Life with Crows and Relic and Cabinet of Curiosities.
