A review by monte_cristo
Brimstone by Douglas Preston
4.0
This Pendergast series is super addictive, having just finished book #5 and thinking perhaps I should ditch any plans for reading other books (eg The Sentinel) and just move on to Pendergast #6!
Ok, so none of them are masterpieces by any means, but they are well written, the plot is interesting, some cool mysteries and Pendergast is quite the hero. This fifth book of the series takes us from New York to Tuscany with Pendergast trying to solve a series of murders in which the victims were killed through some sort of devilish instantaneous combustion. We also see very briefly the introduction of his evil (?) brother, Diogenes, even though he plays no role in this book.
I'm looking forward to reading #6 and I hope it is as good as the previous books (with the exception of #2 perhaps that was not really that good!).
