5.0 out of 5 starsGreat story that gets you in
Reviewed in Australia on 25 June 2020
I have pretty much every book written by these authors. I love the books and Agent Pendergast is an extraordinary character. Reminds me a bit of Poirot. The books are very much stand alone so each one is different.
Highly recommend reading one of the Preston/Child books.

1.0 out of 5 starsGreat story, not a good looking book.
Reviewed in Australia on 23 June 2020
This was one of three Pendergast novels I didn't own in hard cover, so I wanted to finish my collection. This edition has the printing right on the hard cover of the book, not a plain hard cover and dust jacket like the 200+ other hard cover novels I own. I have actually never seen one like this before in a full size hard cover. It doesn't fit in with the rest and looks cheap. I will know from now on to investigate properly buying books from here. I realise it is an old story, but I just bought Still Life With Crows brand new in the normal hard cover format, so to open this was really disappointing.
If you are trying to make a set I would advise against this edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most entertaining of thrillers

Wow, I keep learning more about one of the worlds largest cities every time I turn a page. Love the Pendergast series; the archeology, the corporate politics of the museum of Natural History, the plot twists and turns, the unpredictability of the stories. Love Sherlock Holmes? Then you will love Pendergast!

A tour-de-force of magnificence. Preston and Child are writers of the highest calibre. l am constantly amazed by their prowess. Other writers are made to look very ordinary in comparison.

The Pendergast series is really growing on me. This instalment is quite a white knuckle read with one cliff hanger after another. A serial killer's work dating back 100 years is unearthed on a building site and history starts repeating itself!

Preston & Child write a great thriller. Agent Pendergast is always involved in some exciting and quirky cases. I love this series and read all of them. Highly Recommend.

2.0 out of 5 stars Aspect Ratio!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2018

Book itself typically very good and well covered in the other reviews. I have given the item two stars rather than the story it contains. Humans usually read paperback books that are 5:8 width to height ratio. This particular book (red cover) is about 4:8 and very thick. Why is this relevant? Well, when you try and read it you find out. A thick, narrow book is quite difficult to hold with one hand and the relatively narrow pages mean that the lines are very short. Again, most humans find 10 long lines easier on the eye than 15 shorter ones. This is what I call a "QWERTY" problem. Things should be made in the format we are all used to using and not some other shape which detracts from the enjoyment of the item or event. I ended up buying a second hand different edition from ebay so as to finish the story in comfort. All sounds a bit pedantic but in a 650 page novel, it got pretty annoying.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cabinet off Curiosities: Agent Pendergast book 3 (As always no spoilers).
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2019
Verified Purchase
FBI agent Pendergast investigates when over thirty skeletons are discovered under a building site, the victims of murder over a hundred years ago, murders that were never solved, the killer never caught. Now the killings have started again.

There are lots of twists and unexpected turns throughout the book, a really good story and the return of some old characters (see RELIC: Agent Pendergast book1, and Reliquary: Agent Pendergast book2), and the introduction of some new ones.

I really enjoyed this book and I think it's well worth 5🌟. I'm looking forward to reading the fourth book in the series.
