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.

This is only the second Pendergast book I've listened too. I thought there was a good story but the book ended without a finale. Plus, it did seem to drag on... and on... and on. Obviously, you have to read/listen to the next in the series to (hopefully) get some answers. And, there was too much violence for my taste. And a lot of it didn't advance the story, or aid the main characters, it just seemed to be violence for violence sake.

Preston & Child are a good team but this went too far with the violence and didn't end the story.

Good Story but Too Much Violence

Would you listen to Cold Vengeance again? Why?

Absolutely! I love this character. He plays it so close to the vest, he frustrates the heck out of everyone around him. But what fun it is to follow along with these books.

What about Rene Auberjonois’s performance did you like?

He did an awesome job. I think when you are just enjoying the story and consistency of the voices and accents, the narrator is doing a superb job.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

When unseen forces collide

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend anything by Preston & Child!

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

The whole Pendergast series is a treat for the mind. I hope Preston & Child continue for another dozen books.

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

Maybe not the edge of my seat, but it certainly kept my headphones on !

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

Auberjonois is made for these novels, he delivers the best Pendergast voice. He really is a master of different accents and inflections.

Any additional comments?

I would suggest that, if you have read any of the Pendergast series, you go back and start at book one. (Check out the series here on Audible, there are 12 books) The facts keep building and the characters keep evolving, and you miss insights by reading the series out of order. Hence, if you want to get into a great series, I would recommend this.

The Story Continues ...
