Verses for the Dead by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
4.0
Another in a long line of solid, entertaining thrillers. The 18th(!) book in the series is a bit of a change-of-pace, as it introduces some new characters and doesn't feature as much of the quasi-mystical that occurs in some books.
Pendergast finds himself with a new partner and a puzzling mystery to solve: Who is leaving hearts on gravestones in Florida? As usual, Pendergast finds himself getting pulled deeper and deeper into the mystery, and danger. This book is more procedural in nature than many of the previous books, almost as if the authors said, "let's try something different." The good news is that it works, for the most part, although the ending felt a bit rushed to me, which is why I knocked it back a star.
