Angel of Vengeance by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
4.0
Angel of Vengeance is the 22nd book in the Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. This book cannot be read as a standalone; it's really best to start at the beginning, but at the very least you need to read The Cabinet of Curiousities, Bloodless, and The Cabinet of Dr. Leng first.
Angel of Vengeance picks up where the cliffhanger ending in The Cabinet of Dr. Leng left off. Constance, Pendergast, Vinnie and Diogenes (GASP) are stuck in 1880 NYC in a risky cat-and-mouse game with Dr. Enoch Leng, the Pendergast relative-serial killer-scientist who discovered the Arcanum that has allowed Constance to live a very long life.
This book brought the Leng storyline to a very satisfying conclusion. I really love the Diogenes character, and I enjoyed having him in this book. Some of the plot was bogged down around the middle of the book, but it was well worth the read.
Thanks to the authors, the publisher, and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I can't wait to see what comes next for Pendergast!
