I use audiobooks to get me through tasks I would otherwise not enjoy (cleaning the bathroom!) and this one was so good I found myself looking for more places to scrub! Pendergast is a fascinating character and there isn't an easy answer to the mystery in which he finds himself.

This is the second book in the Helen trilogy (first is Fever Dream, 3rd is Two Graves). The overall story arc is fairly complex so you may want to get all three books at the same time. I listened to this second book about 18 months later than the first and found it difficult to remember sufficient details from Fever Dream to fully enjoy this entry as much as I would have if I had read them closer together. I fearthe same will happen with the third book. This was a fast-paced book mainly focused on the always-fascinating Pendergast as he continues to try to avoid being killed while investigating his wife's death. Interesting book wonderfully read by Rene Auberjonois - these are truly even better on audio.

I have liked the Pendergast books before, but this story left the reader wondering what the heck was going on. Usually in a "series" the reader is able to jump in the middle of the series and still enjoy a good storyline, but this one referenced too many situations that evidently occurred in the previous book that if you knew what they were talking about, would have made sense as to who was who and why so-and-so did such-and-such. Not the best Preston & Child book.
