Fiction. Literature. Suspense. Thriller. HTML: *THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES* BESTSELLER Preston & Child return with their bestselling series, confronting FBI Special Agent Pendergast with the one challenge he never expected: a partner.** After an overhaul of leadership at the FBI's New York field office, A. X. L. Pendergast is abruptly forced to accept an unthinkable condition of continued employment: the famously rogue agent must now work with a partner. Pendergast and his new colleague, junior agent Coldmoon, are assigned to investigate a rash of killings in Miami Beach, where a bloodthirsty psychopath is cutting out the hearts of his victims and leaving them with cryptic handwritten letters at local gravestones. The graves are unconnected save in one bizarre way: all belong to women who committed suicide. But the seeming lack of connection between the old suicides and the new murders is soon the least of Pendergast's worries. Because as he digs deeper, he realizes the brutal new crimes may be just the tip of the iceberg: a conspiracy of death that reaches back decades. .… (meer)

L’inspecteur Pendergast avec l’aide de l’inspecteur Coldmoon essaient de trouver le meurtrier Coeur-Brisé qui ouvre le thorax de ses victimes et dépose le coeur sur des pierres tombales de jeunes filles assassinées par son père il y a 11 à 12 ans (

For me, this series has definitely reached the point of diminishing returns. I think I won't read the next one. (But I've said that before.)

The book doesn't have Constance Greene, so that is good. The partner is fine, so that is good. The crime is bad and weird, so okaaay. The perp is crazy, so, again, okaaay. The reader never finds out the logic behind what the perp does - NO, NO, NO! It is incredibly lazy to not have any explanation for how the "atonement" relates to the original crime.

I bought "Verses for the Dead" because Rene Auberjonois performed the narration, and he had just passed away. He created characters that came to life, and his performance in "Verses for the Dead" was no exception.

Verses for the Dead was the first time I met FBI Special Agent Pendergast, even though this is the 18th book in the series. I wouldn't say I liked him, but I liked how his mind worked. Authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child created people, not characters. The end of the novel was astonishing and filled with compassion. A compassion that Rene Auberjonois brought through so clearly I will never forget it. (
