Crime/Detective
Fever Dream by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
Let me say first off Fever Dream is not a realistic crime detective novel. Realism aside, it is action-packed with an intricate, intertwined plot. Agent Pendergast discovers his wife’s death of 12 years ago was not an accident and sets out to solve her murder. I was hooked at the start with the flashback back to her death. Pendergast is an ends-justifies-the-means kind of agent which lends to the dangerous situations that occur to him and anyone with him on the case. Despite the “no way” moments encountered, the plot’s twists and turns kept me hooked right up to the end.
