My Goodreads review: Bloodless

[ankh_hpl]

Bloodless by Douglas Preston

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


For any of you Pendergastlies (myself included) who were getting a little worried about the nearly mundane nature of a couple of his recent cases . . . well, worry no longer. The weird is back, & as usual, Pendergast is in the thick of it.

Other than mentioning that this case (mostly) takes place in Savannah, GA -- & that it is absolutely essential for Constance Greene fans -- there's not a lot to be said without committing Spoiler. Suffice it to say that Preston & Child have broken new speculative ground in their long-running series, & that it may not be to all tastes. I myself enjoyed this one immensely, though I confess to holding my breath once or twice as I listened, wondering just how far the authors would go & whether things would all make sense at the end.

For me, they absolutely did. The only serious quibble I had about the Audible version of this novel was that narrator William DeMeritt had an awful time voicing Constance. No such trouble with other female characters, oddly enough. It's well-produced otherwise, & very much worth a full credit purchase for fans.
