...occasionally coming across as a set of eccentricities rather than a living, breathing character. Still, readers of previous Pendergast novels will welcome this installment starring the exceedingly peculiar FBI Special Agent. Stylish, dark and tense.

I enjoyed this mystery thriller to the end. It was interesting to see Pendergast so personally involved. It made his character even more brilliant and compelling.

Fever Dream is a good mystery and a great read. Along with all that fiction has to offer you will learn something about the life of the great American artist John James Audubon.
