"Constance Greene is the ward and amanuensis of Special Agent Pendergast. First mentioned in only vague, mysterious terms in The Cabinet of Curiosities and Still Life with Crows, she was finally introduced during the events of Brimstone."
So did Hill. He talks about it in the introduction to his recent short story collection.
Thanks! I thought there was more that I had forgot about.
Pendergast and D'Agosta keep things going although Candace was knocked up by his evil brother Diogenes and I think she is in hiding in a monk temple somewhere in Peru trying to keep the baby info a secret from Diogenes- who miraculously reappeared in the series after being pushed into a live volcano by Candace.
I think this is where I left off....
If that's the same book series I'm thinking of, I don't know if I could watch that. My God, those books were HARSH - good, but freaking brutal.
It's one of my favorites. Not a world-changer, but I have yet to read one of them I didn't enjoy. In my opinion authors like James Patterson, Nelson Demille, Jeffrey Deaver have all gone way downhill (if they even write their own books anymore)....Pendergast has staying power as a series.
Please update on The Troop. I tried it once, based on King's review, but didn't finish. It felt...heavy-handed? Manipulative? Maybe it was just where I was at in life when I read it.
I like him, too. The Bob Lee series got a little tired for me (the NASCAR one and also the one in Japan felt lazy as hell), but G-Man was a big improvement. I liked the twist on Charles' character.
Agree Hunter didn’t work too hard, but a bit ashamed to say I enjoyed the Bristol book. The samurai sword one not so much.
Just don't let him know about Pendergast's surprise half brothers Frasier and Niles.
I enjoyed it. I was getting a feel along the lines of the book House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. My notebook indicates you were a fan of that one.
Finished Boy's Life and thoroughly enjoyed the reread.
You may be surprised. That is one of those I went through fairly quickly as I did not want to put it down. It is an excellent read.
The audiobook was a bit more abridged than I remembered. McCullough's dulcet voice is always great, but I may have to buy the book for a fuller appreciation. But that will wait until this little project of mine is over.
I felt like it was one of his stronger endings in a long time. Enjoyed the whole novel. 4 out of 5.
Not looking for that, just fun reads and these set up nicely with the quick chapters and decent pace. Been trying to read more, but sometimes all I have is enough for a quick chapter while I take a dump, in between innings of my son's baseball games, etc. and these books are good for that.
Like I said, I haven't read anything by him for a while. The Bottoms, A Fine Dark Line, and Edge of Dark Water are all very good.
