    Crimson Shore and Constance Greene, the thorn in my side
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2018*

This is a review of a book that's been out a while. I know, what's the point. But I wanted to review all the books sequentially up to the up and coming City of Endless Night that's set to release this month. Ok, here we go...Constance Greene. She's the thorn in my side. Seriously. I've never rolled my eyes so hard as when I did with her scenes. Her action towards Pendergast smacks of desperation. Just...just stop. As I read Crimson Shore, I was hoping Diogenes would pop up and whisk her away to live happily ever after plotting evil plans of pure evil. I mean, she seems to have a thing for the men in the Pendergast line so... Good gravy, though, please not Proctor. And the waffling from Aloysius? Makes me want to slap the Southern right out of him. Sadly, that does no good because this is a book and he isn't real. If this subplot must continue, I may have to skip those parts. Business only, please. That's why I liked Holmes. Ok, my venting is over.I struggled with the first portion of this book, simply because I could see where they were going to write Constance and Pendergast. But the actual story, that of Exmouth and the murders, was a good read. Sure, I called the "bad guy" from the beginning, but then again, I've been able to do that since reading the first few Doyle stories. That doesn't detract from the enjoyment, at least for me. The history of the ship, it's contents and passengers was interesting. And the creature...it was like Still Life With Crows revisited, where Pendergast was like a fish out of water and the mysterious figure like the one in Still Life, except with Constance instead of Corrie. *sigh* I miss D'Agosta.The reason I enjoy these books has everything to do with the descriptive writing."A figure burst in [spoiler] leaping over the shattered remains of the door, moved so fast that he got in only a glancing blow to its shoulder as it blew past him, filling his nostrils with a sudden overwhelming stench. He turned around and drew back, [spoiler] let out a bloodcurdling scream, the flashlight dropping to the floor and plunging the room into gloom. At the same time there was a wet sound, like a water balloon bursting. [spoiler] the dark shape drop down to its knees and hunch over [spoiler], lying splayed on the Persian rug. He could hear the sodden sounds of mastication. With a roar he rushed over and swung the bat at the shape, but it rotated upward, two blunt hands rising to catch the bat; it was twisted out of his hands with horrific force; and then he felt a gigantic ripping jerk to his midriff, heard the sound of something wet and heavy hitting the ground, before he himself fell backward, screaming, into a bottomless pit of pain and horror."Grooooooossss.What does that say about me that I enjoy reading their books? They have a way of moving the action, pushing me to read faster and faster, matching the pace of the attacker. That's what I really like. In Still Life of Crows, I was on the edge of my seat, so much so that the ring of the doorbell caused me fall off the couch and drop my book. And it's got to say something about the authors that they can rile me up with certain characters, like Smithback and Constance, at the same time impressing me with Pendergast, D'Agosta, and Nora. So I won't give up on Pendergast (grumbles) even if they do decide to pair him with Constance. Lord, help them if they do. You recall the fan protests when Doyle killed off Holmes at Reichenbach Falls? Just sayin': Be warned Preston and Child!

    Atmospheric Horror in a Small Town
  

*by A***U on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023*

This is a wonderful back to basics Pendergast adventure. After having his life saved by his friends, Pendergast takes an intriguing side job at an atmospheric, quaint, small Massachusetts town along with his enigmatic ward Constance. The theft of a wine supply leads to more than either bargained for. Town secrets and tales of witches arise to complicate matters. While one mystery in unearthed, another simmers.This is a great character piece that shows some exploration of Pendergast and Constance's changing relationship. She learns more about modern society. Needless to say, there are twists and turns. if you have been paying careful attention, you will see the clues leading to a revelation at the end. The ending is not what you expect either. I love the insights into Pendergast's personality as well as the evolution of Constance. Another fantastic book, though it ends on a cliffhanger that leads into the next one. Ready to dive into the Obsidian Chamber!

    A Competent Outing, But Sadly Stagnant
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2015*

I'd make this one three and a half stars, but I'll round up.I've been reading Preston and Child since the beginning, and have thoroughly enjoyed the ongoing adventures of Agent Pendergast. Crimson Shore is a competent, but not particularly revelatory addition to the series, and despite some high points, I find myself increasingly missing the ensemble cast of the earlier books.Crimson Shore sees Pendergast and his unstable ward Constance Greene in a small Massachusetts town, where they investigate a complex web of secrets and evidence. I will echo other readers in saying that the first two thirds of the book are solid, albeit certainly not the writers best work. The last third sadly falls short and feels hamfisted and tacked on to fulfill the monster of the week requirement. I would draw comparisons to Still Life With Crows, but the payoff is far less compelling, and the route we take to get there is deeply unsatisfying.Pendergast, as per usual, is suave, distant, and frequently irritating in the extreme. Despite some fantastic scenes where he tries to impose his own peculiar culinary sensibilities on the townsfolk, I find him an increasingly unlikable protagonist. Compared to the clever, eccentric, but ultimately human Pendergast who will sit down and explain his rationale to his compatriots in his early outings (see Relic, Reliquary, and so on), the superhuman capacity he has to know everything about every salient detail and compile them into a working theory that he refuses to explain is, I'm afraid to say, wearing thin. Without the grounding presence of a character like Vincent D'Agosta or Bill Smithback, Pengergast is given few opportunities for serious depth or development.Constance Greene appears here, and seems to be set to take the place of those aforementioned partners, and she has some wonderful moments as she tries to learn how to live in modern society, but she is sadly underutilized in this role, and she continues to teeter on the knife edge of rigid rationale (a la Pendergast) and traumatized insanity...just as she has in every book since her introduction. I really want to like Constance, but as with Pendergast, she is given scant opportunity for serious character development, and none of those opportunities are followed through in a permanent fashion. She and Pendergast seem stuck in stasis, which is a shame. Corrie Swanson gets a brief, derogatory lip service from her, which I was sorry to see. I would love to see a pairing of the two girls, as I think those characters have a lot to learn from one another.The ending of this book seems to set the series up for yet another outing in the 'Pendergast Trilogies' that Preston and Child are so fond of, and while I like the format, I do feel they need to commit to some serious shake-ups in the lineup and status quo. I have not felt that the books carry any real, lasting sense of peril since the death of Bill Smithback in Cemetery Dance, which enabled the writers to properly shock their audience. Without that sense of energy, we are left trying to care about throwaway characters who exist only as cattle for the plot, and the protagonists of the books, who seem immune to permanent damage.
