Two Graves by Douglas Preston
2.0
Pendergast: I know how strange it must seem. But at least for the time being, I must insist in your full and complete suspension of disbelief.
D'Agosta: Disbelief? That's an understatement. It's totally crazy.
Pendergast: You'll find out soon enough. We are here.
This exchange comes about a third to halfway through Two Graves and it is here that I felt the authors were talking directly to the reader. These books have always been fun, even after the Pendergast series long ago ran out its arc (I mean, they've resorted to Nazis in the present day as their villains), but this one's just gone bonkers. Again, still fun, although the ending wasn't the usual page turning, late night readfest these books usually provide me. Again, despite Pendergast's above entreaty, it was really hard to stay with. Still, if you're a Pendergast/Preston&Child completist, be sure to read this.
