A review by posies23
Brimstone by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

4.0

This book picks up most of the subplots left by CABINET OF CURIOUSITIES. After a book off (the interesting but largely unconnected STILL LIFE WITH CROWS, Agent Pendergast is back in New York, investigating a batch of supernatural-seeming murders. Vincent D'acosta makes a reappearance (from RELIC and RELIQUARY), as do several previous characters, making this one a fun read for those that have read the previous novels. There are also some fun connections to Preston's MONSTER OF FLORENCE and Wilkie Collins' WOMAN IN WHITE

A strong, interesting thriller, with lots of conspiracies and action. Well worth the time! This is the first book in the "Diogenes" trilogy, pitting Pendergast against his evil younger brother. Good stuff!
