Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson have become my two favorite characters. Love that some minor characters from the main Pendergast series have evolved and grown so much on their own. Strong women who don’t take any shit from men. The ending made me roll my eyes a bit but still enjoyable. I like the air of supernatural the books often have, even if it usually turns out to have an explanation.
