The Cabinet of Dr. Leng  (Pendergast #21)The Cabinet of Dr. Leng by Douglas Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was another fun read in the Agent Pendergast Universe. It had been so long between books that at times I had forgot what had happened leading up to this one.

Extraction (Pendergast, #12.5) by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

Extraction (Pendergast, #12.5)Extraction by Douglas Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just a simple easy short story involving Agent Pendergast and his brother Diogenes when they were kids. It had an interesting take on the Tooth Fairy and how in other areas they consider the tooth fairy to be something else that isn't necessarily good and nice. It kept me entertained for a couple of hours.

Beyond the Ice Limit (Gideon Crew, #4; Ice Limit #2) by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

Beyond the Ice Limit (Gideon Crew, #4; Ice Limit #2)Beyond the Ice Limit by Douglas Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Probably closer to 3.5 than a 4. this was the second part of a mini story series that the Author admits to deciding to write several years after the initial story was completed. The beginning was a little slow but then it slowly got going. Overall I enjoyed it.

The Obsidian Chamber by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

The Obsidian Chamber (Pendergast, #16)The Obsidian Chamber by Douglas Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just another book to keep me entertained on my daily walks and sometimes on my commute home from work. The beginning took off in a strange set of events that initially had me confused. Then I was shocked to hear that Diogenes had come back from the dead and the ending was sort of weird. Overall it was just another fun book to keep me entertained. TIme to move on to the next one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just another fun book in the Agent Pendergast series. This one had it's normal sets of twists and turns but with less of the supernatural action but more of what I call the freaky action that sometimes happens to agent Pendergast. I still enjoyed it.

The Wheel of Darkness by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

The Wheel of Darkness (Pendergast, #8)The Wheel of Darkness by Douglas Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, this was an intense adventure with Agent Pendergast. It is another one where it crosses into the supernatural but it was still a fun book to read. It had a lot of twists and turns and of course Pendergast succeeds in the end.

Cold Vengeance by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

Cold Vengeance (Pendergast, #11)Cold Vengeance by Douglas Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Listened to this book on my trip back from picking up my daughter from college. Just another solid adventure with Agent Pendergast. I was a little shocked to hear that his wife is now alive and then at the end he loses her again. The ending felt sort of abrupt with the way the abduction happened and then that was it. Overall it was pretty good.

Impact - By Douglas Preston

Impact (Wyman Ford #3)Impact by Douglas Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I grabbed this the other day when I was picking up a few book at the library for my staycation this week. The beginning was sort of weird in that I didn't quite understand how the 3 story lines were going to finally combine but at the end it did and over all it was a good book. Probably closer to a 3.5 star book but I will give it a 4.

Crooked River by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

Crooked River: Agent Pendergast #19Crooked River: Agent Pendergast #19 by Douglas Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I finally finished listening to this book that was on CD for my road trip to Pitt and back. Overall it was okay. Still a fun story with Agent Pendergast , but maybe because I was listening on CD instead of reading I kept zoning out and I had to replay certain sections at times since I missed stuff. Overall still a fun read.

Another book I forgot to mark as completed. Pendergast was his normal eccentric self and it kept me entertained for a few days while stuck at home.
