Review
"René Auberjonois...lends the proper air of gravitas to his performance. With the underlying story featuring zombies and the undead, it takes the sober Auberjonois to help maintain the credibility of the plot. His sincere delivery is perfect for a strange story that is more than a little creepy." (AudioFile Magazine on CEMETERY DANCE )
"[A] suspenseful tale of urban terror...this taut page-turner can only add to the authors' growing fan base." (Publishers Weekly on CEMETERY DANCE )
"Narrator As Pendergast discovers that his beloved wife kept a myriad of secrets, Auberjonois's characterization dramatizes the special agent's confusion over his wife's loyalty." (AudioFile ) --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Love the enigmatic Pendergast!,
By
This review is from: Fever Dream (Audio CD)
I've been following the adventures of FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast since Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's first collaboration. Fever Dream is the tenth book in the series.Pendergast has just uncovered evidence that points to murder, not an accident as was accepted, in the death of his wife Helen almost 12 years ago. Pendergast is a bit of an enigma - he plays his cards close to his chest, so learning more about his personal life is a revelation. He calls on his dependable sidekick NYPD Detective Vinnie D'Agosta to help him. Vinnie agrees against the wishes of his girlfriend, Homicide Captain Laura Hayward. Inexplicably, it seems that Helen engineered meeting Pendergast to use his connections to a folio of works by the famed artist John James Audubon. As the pair dig deeper, following a trail that leads to the bayous of Louisiana, Pendergast finds himself knowing less and less about the woman he married, but still determined to avenge her death. There's a great subplot involving Pendergast's mysterious ward Constance Green as well. I love this character, from his slow southern drawl to his mysterious powers of deduction and his seemingly inexhaustible store of knowledge. The cases usually involve interesting pieces of history as well. The books are definitely action and plot driven. They're great fun for escapist reading or listening. I listened to Fever Dream. Réne Auberjonois has quite a few books in this series and his voice conjures up Pendergast perfectly. The ending is happily set up for the next in the series!

Extremely Entertaining Series,
By
This review is from: Fever Dream (Hardcover)
It is hard to believe that this is Preston and Child's 10th entry featuring the Holmes-ian character Aloysius Pendergast. It also marks a return to what has made the books great: strong characters, decent pace, eclectic subjects that are well researched, and an engaging gentile atmosphere in the face of some very serious situations. This plot takes Pendergast back to the death of his wife and along the way tightens up the entire series. I was pleased to see the inclusion of Constance Green whose character is delightfully macabre - her first appearance was in Cabinet of Curiosities which remains my favorite. I have read the entire series and most of the authors solo fiction efforts. They are great romps that offer fun escapes and the reader learns a bit along the way - a very successful formula.

A Great Read,
By
This review is from: Fever Dream (Hardcover)
I've been following the Penderghast series for many books now, and love them. This one is not disappointing. The Constance Greene sub-plot is, as the previous person mentioned, very intriguing (though I'd guessed some of this a few books back) and I can hardly wait to see where it goes in the future. D'Agosta is such a good character too, and I'm also looking forward to see what happens with him too. I now feel like going back to read some of the first novels again!
