Read All The Books

Crooked River continues on straight after the events of the previous book 'Verses for the Dead.' Agent Pendergast is called in to assist an investigation in Florida where a large number of human feet have washed up on a beach. No one can figure out where they have come from and he soon calls in his ex-partner Coldmoon to help him with the case which seems to be turning more and more deadly the more they investigate. I definitely enjoyed this book however, I did find it dragged a little at times. I also still do not like Constance. Try as they might I just can't seem to like her and find her incredibly annoying. I also found Coldmoon's character to be completely different to what I remember him being in the previous book and I don't know if it's just me not remembering him or if they changed his personality. I did like him more in this book but I miss D'Agosta and hope to see him appear in another book in the future. The last part of the book i...

When a billionaire's daughter's headless body shows up in an abandoned warehouse, Pendergast and D'Agosta are called in to try and solve the case. Soon more wealthy New Yorkers are found brutally murdered with their heads nowhere in sight and Pendergast and D'Agosta find themselves with no idea who the killer/killers could be. Pendergast is not his usual self in this book as he is still trying to come to terms with what happened in the ending of the previous book and does not seem to really care about this case. D'Agosta is frustrated with Pendergast but also the fact that every lead he has seems to end nowhere. While I enjoyed this book I didn't really like the fact that Pendergast wasn't being his usual Pendergasty self. (Yes it's a word now. There is no other way to describe him so he gets his own adjective!) One of the reasons I love this series is the fact that there is no other character (at least that I have read of...and I have read ...

I can't tell you how excited I was to read this book. Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are two of my favourite authors to read and the Pendergast series is one of my all time favourite book series (second only after Harry Potter). White Fire is the thirteenth book in the Pendergast series about FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast but you do not have to read the previous 12 before you read this book if you do not want to, (I highly recommend it though) you can read it as a stand-alone book. Even though the book is a Pendergast novel, it's mainly told through Corrie Swanson's (Pendergast's protege and first seen in 'Still Life With Crows') point of view. Corrie currently enrolled at John Jay College of Criminal Justice is working on a thesis which takes her to 'Roaring Fork' an exclusive ski resort in Colorado to examine the remains of 12 miners who were mauled to death by a bear 150 years previously. The prologue set in 1889 takes ...
