MY REVIEW:
Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston thankfully team up again for their 11th Aloysius Pendergast thriller, FEVER DREAM. Pendergast, an FBI agent, is a wealthy, somewhat unconventional but exceptionally bright man who you learn a lot more about in this newest Child and Preston collaboration. Readers will find out about his wife’s death and how Pendergast was in mourning for her these past twelve years. She was killed by a lion who attacked her and it was thought to be an accident but now Pendergast finds out it could have been murder.
Calling on his best friend, Lt. Vincent D’Agosta ,for help, Pendergast wants to find the murder and see that justice is done. Vincent’s fiancé who is a Captain in the NY Police Department is not thrilled that he is going off again with Pendergast. However, she surprisingly finds herself working with him before the whole thing is over as they track the killer to Africa and then South America only to wind up back in New Orleans. In doing so, they find out secrets about Helen that she was involved in that were previously unknown to her husband.
This is a real page turner and although it is only the second Pendergast novel I have read, I already feel I know the well-developed characters and can’t wait to see what they do next. The combination of Pendergast and Vincent‘s love, Captain Hayward, is a good one and they play off each other exquisitely. There is a dry sense of humor to the novel that I thoroughly enjoy and although this novel seemed shorter than the last, it still was exciting and had so many surprising twists and turns. FEVER DREAM can stand on its own but if you think you will like the book, you may want to start with the first Pendergast novel and read your way happily to this newest addition. I think it never hurts to know as much of the background as possible and I hope to get time to do that myself this summer.
