Publisher's summary

Art critic Jeremy Grove is found dead, his face frozen in a mask of terror. His body temperature is grotesquely high; he is discovered in a room barricaded from the inside; the smell of brimstone is everywhere... and the unmistakable imprint of a claw is burned into the wall. As more bodies are discovered - their only connection the bizarre but identical manner of death - the world begins to wonder if the Devil has, in fact, come to collect his due.

Teaming with Police Officer Vincent D'Agosta (The Relic), Agent Pendergast is determined to solve this case that appears to defy everything except supernatural logic.

Prolong the suspense: listen to another Pendergast novel.

A very interesting book with an awesome narrator.

Scott brick is one of the best narrators I have listened to. His ability to change his voice amazed me. I was not sure I would like this book but I had an extra credit and decided to try a different genre. Murder mystery is not my favorite but this one was not bad. Just enough intrigue and unbelievable happenings to make me want to read another by these two.

Finally!

Where does Brimstone rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

So far, its the best book I have read from the series. I am moving on to the next book!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, but it was a bit up and down.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I am so glad someone finally had some sparks of romance- a much needed tension and factor in the previous books.

Very intertaining

I have enjoyed listening to this book. They were up against a formidable foe and I was glad to hear the ending! Good will out!

This one kept me on the edge of my seat even while standing! If you have anything else to do probably don't start listening to this book...or Cabinet of Curiosities for that matter. Maybe skip the Pendergast series all together because I was hooked after book 1.

Favorite in the series so far!

Ever since I started reading the Pendergast series, I've been absolutely hooked. I've enjoyed each new book more than the previous book. But for some unknown reason, this book is hands down my favorite (so far). Maybe it's because D'Agosta made a return and played a huge role? Was it the weird devilish premise? I don't know, but whatever it was, I loved it. Very thrilling. Not too predictable. Very smart. Great cliff hanger! I'm starting the next book immediately! Scott Brick did an excellent job narrating!

One of his better stories

This was good. Good suspense, characters were more real. Story had good plot.
I thought it was better then the previous.

excellent reading of one of my favorite stories!

Scott Brick did the absolute BEST job of reading an audiobook that I have ever heard! All of the different voices and accents were flawless and added so much to the already great story! I LOVE this series and this is my second favorite book next to Cabinet of Curiosities. Enjoy!

pretty good

I liked it. performance was great. not my favorite Pendergast novel but still a good listen.

Would you consider the audio edition of Brimstone to be better than the print version?

this is my first read of this author. If you like long reads like Nelson DeMille with a Sherlock Holmes type story, then this is as good as they get. This is a series, make no mistake, but if you don't buy #6, you will still enjoy this one very much.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Brimstone?

when the Brimstone deaths occur, these scenes suck you right into the story and make you want to find out the mystery. Clever!

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mr. Brick is the reason I tried this author. He does his wonderful creation of bringing life to the story. His interpretation of Vinny is great.
Note use the new 1.25x speed to get the author's intent.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was on the edge of my seat for first 4 hrs, but as with many long mysteries, I tend to lose the connection with them if they are too long for me.

loved it. ready to read the next one. good book. writer is awesome. enjoyed it
