DESCRIPTION:
Amazon Customer said Not their best, but still pretty good. I've been a fan of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child since "Relic", and during that time I have come to expect quality writing, great characters, tons of plot twists and bizarre, unexpected endings from them. Generally speaking, "Still Life With Crows" lives up to those expectations, but the ending unfortunately falls short, and the resolution leaves some troubling holes. That's not to say this is a bad novel, but fans of the authors may find that it doesn't quite live up to their expectations.Set in a small town in Kansas, "Still Life With Crows" has a creepy vibe from the very beginning that the authors superbly develop over th. "A change of pace" according to T. Bourbon. I really enjoy this series ! I started a few years ago with Book of the Dead, and was heartbroken to discover it was the "end of an 8 book series". After some time passed, and running out of good fiction from my usual authors, I searched for the original books on Amazon. I promptly bought the first few books.

You will be able to follow it, but it will not have the flow that it is intended to have. This is in many ways a continuation of Cabinent of Curiosities, or this is how I saw it. While the story line is ALMOST
Is it a serial killer, a man with the need to destroy? Or is it a darker force, a curse upon the land? Amid golden cornfields, FBI Special Agent Pendergast discovers evil in the blood of America's heartland.. A small Kansas town has turned into a killing ground
Equally important, Auberjonois narrates the tale with the sort of mesmerizing intensity that can, and does, turn a fairly familiar yarn into a scary campfire chillfest.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. . Narrator Auberjonois, a familiar stage and screen presence, uses an appropriately silky accent and a playfully sarcastic tone for Pendergast. This somewhat ethereal, cerebral specialist in macabre murders is a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Mulder of The X-Files, but with his courtly Southern manner and combat expertise, he's very much his own man. Compensating for this apparent lack of imagination is the thriller's remarkable hero, Specia
