In any case, it is with great curiosity and great pleasure that I dipped in white Storm and I have not the pleasure last (unfortunately ...) because I devoured in a week -end.
The character of Pendergast still was fun and I met Corrie, a young student that Pendergast took under his wing. To complete a thesis, she found a more interesting subject but which, for some people of Roaring Fork, is somewhat tricky.
What I liked? Everything. And from beginning to end. Find Pendergast, learn about Corrie, follow his journey and his research in Roaring Fork, posh resort but totally clueless of Colorado.
We meet in the month of December with snow, storm, wind exhausting. A cold polar bonus. Just to put us in an oppressive atmosphere and the successive murders will not warm the atmosphere, especially that the authors are not in half measures in descriptions of what remains ... Brrrr !!!
As usual, Preston & Child bluffed me by the way they carry out this plot from beginning to end. It was parachuted in near idyllic place, we begin to glimpse some not so good things, we also dropped in the nineteenth century, we meet Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde (yum) and even we are treated to a holmesian pastiche conceived by Preston & Child themselves.
What could be better?! The whole is most excellent. I could never get to stop reading this opus because everything made me want to pursue, know what was coming, what had also happened in the mines of Colorado.
The style is still alive, fluid and direct. Preston & Child do not go around the bush whether or Corrie Pendergast. They know how to have repartee. It's delicious to follow!
This reading is still a great discovery bookish and I can not do better than push you to read your turn if you follow the investigations of Pendergast. As for those of you who do not yet know this inspector is to quickly correct a mistake as it is fascinating to follow.
