A review by kueltzo
Two Graves by Douglas Preston

2.0

I have been a fan of the Pendergast books for some years, but I have to say I did not enjoy this book. The personal storyline that has been followed the last three novels has been tied up here, but in a very unsatisfying manner. One of the truly enjoyable qualities about this series has been observing how Pendergast both observes and is observed, and how he interacts with those people in his life. In this novel, the supporting characters are stripped out, leaving a man who acts completely out of character.

If the authors intended to show a devolution and disintegration of a strong and complex personality as it undergoes personal trauma, then they succeeded. Unfortunately, it wasn't enjoyable to read.
