I have read and loved the whole Pendergast series
Spoiler Alert ahead: I have read and loved the whole Pendergast series, with some of the books being great and some that I liked but didn't love. However, each of the previous books either solved a mystery, a murder, or dealt with their own great series (Diogenes). This book did none of the above. As far as the overall progress of the lives and times of Pendergast/Constance/Diogenes goes, this book can be summarized in one sentence: Constance gets mad at Pendergast and decides to go live with her son.
That's it... That's all. After the whole book is said and done, this is the biggest development that occurs in the lives of the three romantics. Oh, and a bunch of innocent people die with no justice and we're expected to just say "Oh, that silly Agent".
