5.0 out of 5 starsAnother winner for Pendergast
Reviewed in Australia on 27 October 2016
As always this was a wonderful story and as always now I will have to wait ages for the next one! I can never get enough of Pendergast and " Constance. I liked that there was more of Proctor in this book and finally got some answers as to his past. I had only one small niggle and that was with editing - there were many instances of "of" and "off" being wrongly used and for a book that uses language so effectively it jarred just a little. It wasn't enough to spoil the story - nothing can do that for a Pendergast book. I hope the guys are writing the next one already because the waiting is hard.

2.0 out of 5 starsPlease proof read the ebooks!
Reviewed in Australia on 1 December 2016
The book itself was great! 5 stars all the way. But the ebook presentation was full of spelling errors. I advised Kindle who wanted to talk about it, but didn't fix it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Uninspired
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2017

There are a number of books in this series - a couple of them really good but this is an insipid re-hash of character and plot that just makes for a diverting read on a long journey . Sometimes a series simply fails because there is nothing original left to do with the plot or characters - which is exactly where this novel stands.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not their best

I've just reread the entire series before reading this one, and I have to say this feels like the weakest book in the series by far. None of the twists and turns or subtle plot lines of other books in the series... shame, this is by far my favourite book series of all time. I hope the next one gets a bit more love and attention!

I thought The Obsidian Chamber was excellent. As usual there was plenty of sub plots, twists and turns and believable action. Love these two authors and I hope they coninue to keep us entertained for many more adventures with Special Agent Aloysious X L Pendergast.

Another excellent Pendergast. I knew he couldn't be dead. His fans would kill Preston/Childs if they knocked him off. Lots of surprises in it. Constance is really coming into her own these days. Felt sad at the ending. Pity we have to wait a year for the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that will hold you and your imagination

Loved this book. Will certainly be looking out for sequels. Quite an interesting departure from many of the mystery type thrillers - an excellent read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so good
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2016

This may be the last of this series that I buy. Its nowhere near as good as earlier books in the series. The previous two books weren't so good either so sadly, I think the series has lost its way.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2016

Again a magnificent book by Preston & Child, I just wish they employed better proof readers. Whenever the word 'off' was required it was spelt 'Of'.
Looking forward to the next chapter in the Agent Pendergast books......soon hopefully.

Have read every one of the Pendergast series and couldn't wait for this one. Not my favourite. No real crime thread to follow. Hope the next one is better.
