Crimson Shore

Multiple intriguing plots.
Pendergast and Constance are solving the mystery rather than being the mystery and I prefer that.
One plot point was an important point in the book Smugglers Reef by Hal Goodwin/John Blaine.
I re-read this to get re-acquainted with the story line before trying to catch up on the Pendergast series.

I agree with the review by Bob Milne - I loved the first 2/3 of the book. the last few Pendergast books were OK but this reminded me of the earlier books and the reason I fell in love with Pendergast and Preston Child. However, the last 1/3 felt awkward. I ended up rolling my eyes as I finished the last page. Disappointing finish to an otherwise well told interesting story. I gave this book a rating of 4 simple because of the first 2/3 of the book. I really enjoyed that.

Agent Pendagast is back again this time to solve a theft of a important wine collection. With the help of Constance Greene, they discover bones behind th wine cellar. Are the two connected, while they are trying to get answers theres a murder that brings sorcery front center.Fast read, theres a lot of chapters but very short filled with mystery and suspense. The last chapter will make you want to find out what happens in the next one.
