The third Nora Kelly/Corrie Swanson adventure – and they are starting to accumulate quite a cast of other regulars as well! This is quickly becoming another “must-read-as-the-books-are-released” series from Preston & Child.
I give this one 4.5 stars and it might be my favorite one in the series so far. Part of the reason for that is that, while the other two are good, I think it usually takes a few books for a series to get settled in. The story is very intriguing and mysterious. The plot is action packed. There is the always appreciated tongue in cheek humor.
If you like Preston & Child but haven’t started this series yet . . . you should. If you liked the first two Nora and Corrie books and are wondering if you should continue . . . you should!
Below is my summary of the book that I shared in a biddy read chat. Only click if you have read the book already or you don’t care about spoilers:
Thoughts in gif and meme form
Self destruct

In lieu of Deus Ex Machina . . . a warning

Corrie Swanson

Our newest power couple?

Skip - is he the next . . .

Yep, this is the 3rd book where she's an FBI agent.
I hope you enjoy!
Yes - she rejoined the Pendergast series a few books ago for a book or two and then got her spinoff with Nora.
I'm also proud of her Lena! :D
Lots of backstory before this one in other books. Could you read it without having read those? I think so . . . but, some of the plot points would not have as much meaning/depth.
Yes! Thank goodness - I might have given up on this series if that happened!
Thanks, Pat! Keep going - they stay pretty solid throughout!
Thanks, Kay! You, too! :)
I'm sure we'll find out in the next book.
But of course! 😁😁😁 Glad you loved it, Angel!
