pickI loved this book. It starts out with a rather clandestine meeting between Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle. Wilde tells Conan Doyle about a story that he recently heard about a man eating bear in Roaring Fork, Colorado. Back to this century, Corrie Swanson heads to Colorado to investigate the remains from the bear attacks and ends up in trouble.

pickPendergast #13 - It was refreshing, after the Helen trilogy, to return to a Pendergast that felt more like the earlier books and I would rank this one as a favorite. There is arson, cannibalism, a story told to Arthur Conan Doyle by Oscar Wilde, and a Colorado ski village built over an old mining company. Fun times! #SeriesLove2023 #Booked2023 #setinmountainregion
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sherlock Holmes, Oscar Wilde, cannibalism? You bet! This is one of my favorites of the Pendergast series. And I love that Corrie had such a big role in the story. Audio narration was superb as well.
pickI hate the subject of cannibalism. This was a good mystery, though, tying in how mercury poisoned madness happened both in the late 1800s and today.
pickI picked this back up after I don‘t know how long. I needed a break from Pendergast, but now I can‘t remember why. This one had me guessing right up to the end. And it wasn‘t as much horror as mystery, either. I was still on the edge of my seat. There are dug up bones, breaking and entering, arson, cannibalism, attempted murder, and much more. On to the next in the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis was a page turner! Book #13 of the Agent Pendergast series. This one features Corrie, a minor character from a couple of other books. I enjoy his the authors build up these side characters & really develop them. They aren‘t all in the same books, they gone and go as needed, adding a nice variety & change of pace to the series.
pickI loved the setting of the story, high in the mountains of Colorado. The isolation and the winter storms add to the tension. Corrie has to deal with an unknown person trying to run her out of town, while an arsonist is targeting the wealthy citizens. Corrie is at times unlikeable, but overall she is trying to do what is right. This story was really interesting. Even the Sherlock Holmes angle worked. I enjoyed reading this.
pickA perfect book for this hot summer. It's set in Roaring Forks, Colorado (a fictional town I think is based on places like Aspen and Vail) in the middle of winter. It revolves around greed, murder, silver mines, and Arthur Conan Doyle. Preston and Child write suspense with a touch of horror. I don't want to say too much and spoil the story.

The used bookstore called to tell me they had a copy of this if I wanted it (yes, please), and I couldn't leave with just one book. Hoping The Reincarnationist trilogy is good! #bookhaul
#TBRtemptation post! This is the 13th Special Agent Pendergast installment, & I'm told it can be read stand-alone. Pendergast heads to an exclusive Colorado ski resort to get his protégée, Corrie, out of jail. She made a 150-year-old discovery concerning miners killed by a grizzly. Meanwhile, a murderous arsonist begins burning down mansions with families locked inside. An old Sherlock Holmes story links the 2. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
Tonight is being injected with a bit of literary thrill via White Fire by Preston and Child.
#snow/men #12daysofxmasphoto These are both about men adventuring in the snow. White Fire is from one of my favorite series and Deception Point was one of my favorite Dan Brown books.
pickBook 13 of the series. Best yet. Pendergast hunts down a Sherlock Holmes story to figure out what is going on in roaring fork Colorado where Corrie Swanson has been researching old bear attacks
pickI stayed up late (early this morn) to read this in one sitting. I didn't love the books prior to this (the Helen trilogy) and had put the series on hold. I'm glad I picked this up because Corrie's back, and things kicked off w/Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde. Great story and characters, though the latter are more fully developed in earlier books. History, forensics, and bears! Oh my!
