pickThis is the 12th Pendergast novel and the conclusion to The Helen Trilogy. This one is quite depressing, and then it goes nuts. I think my favorite parts were actually the side story of Corrie Swanson and her troubles.

so-soI‘m mostly just glad to be done with the Helen trilogy, and hope that the series gains some momentum in the next few books… this trilogy was a slog for me! I am excited that it seems like Corrie and Constance will be getting some development but I really didn‘t enjoy the main storyline.

I enjoyed this one, book 12 in the Pendergast series, but I am glad the Helen story is over. You really have to suspend your disbelief with these books, but they are always fast and fun reads.
pick1st a warning: DO NOT SKIP THE PRECEDING 11 BOOKS in this series. FBI agent Pendergast follows a heinous murderer to his base in the #Brazilian Amazon forest & must take on a Nazi horde hidden there since WWII. Two other unrelated plots weave in and out, clearly having started in earlier books—probably good if you‘ve read the prior books, but they slowed down the non-stop action of the main story. So I‘ll be starting book 1, Relic, soon.
It‘s been a really tough week, advising clients of my friend/attorney‘s passing, freezing weather, and boiling water. So today, with clear skies and almost 60 degrees, I‘ve sat outside to read this book I haven‘t picked up in a long time
Love this! Character is going undercover in the Amazon forest and calls himself Percival Fawcett, which otherwise would have been lost on me if I hadn‘t just read the Lost City of Z! Fawcett was the famous British explorer of the Amazon, pre- and post-WWI! Love it when authors do this! Obviously, the name is lost on the locals. I wonder if there‘s going to be more to this false identity...
I‘m only just now getting to the part of this book that takes place in #Brazil. Excellent book but somewhat of a hard read since it‘s book 12 in a series I haven‘t read, and that seems to be really important, and I‘m constantly on edge reading it for the gruesome murders. So if you‘re still on #Brazil for #foodandlit like me even though we are well into February don‘t worry, you‘re not alone!
Ready to read to my private concert from my son. The life.
“and now something was going on in his stomach that did not seem related to normal digestion.” That‘s quite a polite way to describe the situation! I do appreciate when authors add touches of what real life is like & there isn‘t an assumption main characters don‘t have tummy troubles, too.
By the way, I‘m loving this book. It‘s action-packed from the get-go. Looks like I‘m going to have to read the Pendergast series now! #foodandlit #Brazil
Has anyone else ever done this? I just bought the irl of the tagged book and planned to start it in bed tonight. So I grab the book and turn out the light and then realize I‘m holding a book in complete darkness (see photo above), apparently forgetting it‘s not an ebook! Well, different book it is for tonight then!
Three used bookstores later and this is the result. Will start the tagged book for #foodandlit #Brazil @Butterfinger
pickAn accidental #foodandlit #brazil read. I didn‘t realize when I started that there would be a war with modern day Nazis in the middle of the Brazilian forests. I‘m a big Pendergast fan, although I always find the middles exasperatingly muddy. But lots of good action and intricate plotting. Always a fun read. The narrator was good on this too, a bit of an English accent which fits the character so well.
pickBook #12 of the Agent Pendergast series. This trilogy took me in directions I did not expect. The 3rd book was vastly different from the 1st. I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns and how things came together in the end. As usual, these books have some far-fetching ideas that are outside the norm of reality, but are still quite entertaining.
pickI had to cover the title because it's covered by the library barcode sticker 🙄 TWO GRAVES brings to a close a mystery that has haunted Pendergast more than any other before. And, oh boy, the plot twist! The revelations! And weirdly, I'm also loving the ruffling of Pendergast's usually serene exterior, though I'm sad as to why. But this new intensity of his definitely brings an edge to his actions that makes the suspense sharper than ever.
This one hurt my head but it took place at Christmas so it‘s a #holidayread #wintergames #teamfozziwig @Clwojick @StayCurious
pickA lot of action as three different mysteries are solved. Interesting characters. Kept me coming back for more.
pickI just read that Preston and Child are working on another installment in the Pendergast series. I can't wait, but in the meantime, time to get caught up. There are 2 books standing between me and the new release. This is a thrill a minute, sleep with the lights on, can't put the book down, series.
