A review by tiffml
Crimson Shore by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
3.0
The first 75% of this book is a classic Pendergast story. A crime is committed, Pendergast shows up and does his thing. I really liked the various interactions he has with the townspeople. I felt the Constance Green angle and little forced, but I didn't hate it.
BUT the last quarter of the book seems like a completely different story. It didn't feel cohesive and seemed like an idea that was never fleshed out. The witch storyline felt tacked on in an attempt to beef up the fairly straightforward crime Pendergast was initially investigating.
Overall the book wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as other Pendergast stories. And the ending seems to be setting up for another battle with a familiar enemy...
