Crimson Shore by Preston and Child
Pendergast takes a wine theft case in the small Massachusetts town of Exmouth when he discovers the owner Percival Lake also a semi-famous sculptor, has a case of a wine thought to be extinct. All is not what it seems as Pendergast, along with his protege Constance Green, begins his investigation in his own unique style. A hidden room, chains, an old human bone, ah murder is afoot. A historian is murdered in the marshes and he is not the last murdered there, what was the historian hoping to find, a ship is lost in 1884 off Exmouth, what is Percival Lake’s part in all this, and witches reportedly left Salem for Exmouth during the Salem Witch Trials; lots of twists and turns for Lincoln and Child to bring together. We have come to expect the unexpected from Childs and Preston as Pendergast investigates monsters, monsters of the worst kind and you can be assured that monsters are residing in the small town of Exmouth, Massachusetts.
Get ready for a thrill ride, as Preston and Child never fail to meet expectations. The action never lets up as the twists and turns of the investigation are meshed to create a cohesive tale of evil, extreme evil. As usual the ending is explosive, and leaves us knowing another tale will be in works.
I highly recommend this book.
I received this book from the Publisher and Netgalley in return for an honest review.

Comparing Penergast to Columbo is priceless. They are both of their own world and comparably determined in their search for the truth. A curious turn in this book is the amount of involvement of the mysterious Constance Green, who I'm surprised hasn't spawned a series of her own. As with all their books I am left anxiously awaiting their next installment!

It is a series that never disappointed me.
I really would start at the beginning and work forward, but you do not have to. I have also read Child and Preston's individual books and they are also very good. They just don't write quickly enough
