Cold Vengeance

By: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Narrated by: Rene Auberjonois

Length: 11 hrs and 59 mins

Publisher's summary

Devastated by the discovery that his wife, Helen, was murdered, Special Agent Pendergast must have retribution. But revenge is not simple. As he stalks his wife's betrayers - a chase that takes him from the wild moors of Scotland to the bustling streets of New York City and the darkest bayous of Louisiana - he is also forced to dig further into Helen's past. And he is stunned to learn that Helen may have been a collaborator in her own murder.

Peeling back the layers of deception, Pendergast realizes that the conspiracy is deeper, goes back generations, and is more monstrous than he could have ever imagined - and everything he's believed, everything he's trusted, everything he's understood... may be a horrific lie.

Good read

Enjoying story line. Enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot. Look forward to reading the next book in the series

Pendergast is still trying to unravel his past

Do you think Cold Vengeance needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

The Pendergast series has been fun and over the top, but it has taken a more serious turn and lost something. I really just wanted them to wrap up this story line. I guess this one is part 2 of at least 3. It kind of feels like they may be milking the series by selling several smaller books instead of one longer one. Come on guys please get back to having fun.

Rene Auberjonois Saved the Day and this story.

I love/hate and flip flop on whether Pendergast is any kind of friend to any of the other characters in these books. I don't like Helen, I don't like cliffhangers, but getting to listen to Rene Auberjonois read is a treat. When's the next one? Don't even think about using another narrator I'll be peeved if you do.

Intense follow-up to the previous book.

I wasn't super excited about the previous book, but I still enjoyed it. However, this novel started off with a bang and kept up the suspense. It followed the story of the previous book and continued on with the mystery of Pendergast's wife. Lots of thrilling, exciting moments. I can't wait to start the next book. As always, Rene Auberjonois did an outstanding job narrating! Highly recommend.

Not my favorite Pendergast but good

I've read all the Pendergast books up to this point. I'm a huge fan and will continue to be so. I now understand the reviews. It really is a long book that doesn't close many subplots and leaves you hanging. I'd still recommend listening. It is still a good story and kept me interested the whole time. I really like the reemergence of previous characters. Just know that if you read Fever Dream and you are about to read this one, that you are definitely going to want to listen to Two Graves right after.

Mysterious

I love this series and Agent Pendergast. This book is suspenseful and can't wait for the next book to see what happens and more on the covenant and also Cory.

Great

Wish I had read this prior to the next. So far, the best yet read.

Quick cash book

I’ve been a hardcore fan of this series since book 1. However, these last two books fall so very short of a decent read. Plot line dragged out & unfocused. The mtg between H/h was sterile and overly obtuse on revealing anything of note. Massively disappointed. I’ll try the next book but, so far, this series has two strikes

Excellent Story

Great story and narration. The pacing was good as well. Thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Would recommend to others

Cliff hanger!

I have bought and read every book in this series and I love them all, this one included. I am a little pissed however with the ending, I shall say no more.

I do hope the next book follows very soon, I need a fix already./
