4.0 out of 5 starsA good read.
Reviewed in Australia on 11 December 2017
This is a very suspenseful read, both educational and intriguing. Haven't read any other novels by Preston and Child, but certainly will be looking out for more by them. I have given 4 stars - maybe 3.5 was all it deserved, but that is not an option. The Authors should look to see if they can improve their grammar and spelling - most noticeably 'shined' instead of 'shone'.
The suspense was real and built as the story progressed, to the last page.
A good read which included information regarding genetics to computer wizardry - not all of it correct however, but interestingly entwined into the plot of this story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear your diary, once you get into it you won't want to put it down!
Reviewed in Australia on 4 December 2015
Verified Purchase
After a bit of a slow start this book really picks up pace. Set in the New York Museum of Natural History this is a book that is a mystery, thriller, science fiction all thrown into one. Once I got into it I could not put it down, a really interesting story told in a suspenseful setting and it really kept me guessing.
