Crooked River
Crooked River | Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
12 posts | 16 read | 8 to read
Before he can return to New York from Miami, Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast is called to investigate something very strange that has happened on the west coast of Florida. Dozens of human feet, identically clad in blue have washed up on beaches. All exhibit unmistakeable signs of violence. Beyond that, nothing is known about the feet, except that they are fresh and haven't been in the water long. Pendergast reluctantly makes his way to the barrier islands off South Florida to investigate a case he believes to be outside his area of expertise and his interest. Once there, he finds the case both disturbing and intriguing, and is drawn into the mystery almost against his will. A preliminary pathology report indicates the feet were chopped, torn, or even wrenched from their bodies in the crudest of ways. Over the next few days, still more continue to wash in, until the number tops one hundred. Soon the case begins to take a most surprising and complex turn, and Pendergast finds it necessary to call in Special Agent Armstrong Coldmoon for a risky and very specific undercover assignment. And when, at last, the true origin of this awful gift from the sea becomes clear, the former partners are forced to confront an enemy, and a horror, more powerful and deadly than any they have faced before.

My first read by this duo. It kept my attention and had me trying to figure out where the many feet on the beach had originated from .

This was a thrill ride, albeit one the stretched the imagination a tad. Preston Ed& Child seldom disappoint.

Over a hundred severed feet, in unique but identical shoes have washed up on the Captiva Island beach. Aloysius Pendergast, Constance Green and Armstrong Coldmoon reunite to investigate. You can guess the rest.

I marked it a pick because when you need a Pendergast thrill nothing else will do, but the earlier novels are better.

Book #19 in the Agent Pendergast series. This was an entertaining mystery. Agent Coldmoon makes a reappearance and Constance Greene‘s character has her own mystery to solve. I would say this one had less of Pendergast‘s unique ability to solve a case and more involvement from everyone else. I hope for more books in the series.

🎧 I liked the mystery. I like Constance & Special Agent Cold Moon. I hope to see more of them and get some character development. I‘m hoping they keep the three of them platonic friends. I like Pendergast being the Sherlock as I find him a bit pretentious with all of his talk of esoteric food/drink & designer $$ concerns. New narrator wasn‘t horrible. It kept my attention which is amazing of late. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️2/3

Although I was sad to hear that the narrator of the previous 18 books in the series, Rene Auberjonois, passed away last year, I am very happy with the replacement, Jefferson Mays, who also read the Expanse series.

This was a typical Pendergast novel, with more Pendergast and his no-f***s given attitude than in #18 and not too heavy on the disbelieable events.

Book 42/100

Another good one in the Pendergast Series. A starting crime with dozens of victims. A ghastly enigma with no apparent solution. A worthy challenge for a brilliant mind.

📚 I usually prefer physical books but I'm trying to read more ebooks.
📚 Amazon typically, but I recently subscribed to scribd to cut down on buying books.
📚 I love audiobooks.
📚 Audible, overdrive and scribd
📚 I preordered Crooked River the next Pendergast novel.
