Brimstone by Douglas Preston
4.0
The beginning of the Diogenes series! There's nothing like getting back to New York, and there's nothing like having Vincent as a sidekick. Sometimes D'Agosta's passages can be a little grating (there's times when he's a little too stereotypically a New York cop), but overall I'd much prefer a book with D'Agosta as the narrator than just Pendergast alone.
And I thought this was an interesting addition to the Diogenes mini-series! This novel labored a little under its own plot, and the weird "romance" they introduced between Pendergast and Viola seemed more bizarre than anything. But overall, good fun!
