In an ancient tunnel underneath New York City a charnel house is discovered. Inside are thirty-six bodies--all murdered and mutilated more than a century ago. While FBI agent Pendergast investigates the old crimes, identical killings start to terrorize the city. The nightmare has begun. Again.

#AboutABook #ByMultipleAuthors A friend of mine loves this series , I have yet to read one .
#Pendergast

Bookwomble A friend of mine also loves this series, and this title was the one they persuaded me to read. It's a good story about a serial killer, and has a kind of supernatural edge. 3mo

Everybody's favorite thriller book club is back and this time we have two authors for the price of one. This one was more unnerving, scary, and tense than what I was expecting. Definitely, a first rate thriller. We go through our favorite aspects of the book and some of the things that didn't ultimately work. And finally, we go through the prop bets. Enjoy!

I didn‘t realize that the supernatural was going to be a theme in all of the Pendergast novels. The storyline here requires a serious suspension of disbelief, but the audiobook makes up for it. Pendergast, in the voice of the narrator, sounds like Daniel Craig in Knives Out. It‘s delightful. Five stars for the Foghorn Leghorn impression, two stars for the ludicrous plot - still a pick. My #doublespin for June.

Such a strenuous read. Lots of exorbitant detail. IMO, Pendergast is a character beyond belief. Maybe, he‘s a what people would call an antihero. Cause goodness he‘s unbearable.

julesG Very fitting review. 2y

The 3rd in the Pendergast series and one of my favorites. In this one Pendergast, Nora and Smithback investigate an old serial killer after a pit of human remains are found. And then the killings seem to start up again.

The 3rd book in the ‘series‘ featuring Agent Pendergast. This book was good, and strange, but in a good way. You get to know a lot more about Pendergast in this book. I liked the story in this one better too; didn‘t have the Jurassic Park feel even though it still featured the museum. I don‘t want to give anything away, but you‘ll walk away with a much better understanding of how Pendergast is able to do what he does, seem as he seems.

My first Preston & Child book...read because I had heard good things about it. A little far fetched storyline but good all in all.

LiterarySloth This one is good. It‘s the third book in their Pendergast series. The first two are Relic and Reliquary. Relic is my favorite. 5y
Myhusbandhatesreading @LiterarySloth I will have to try that one next!! Thanks! 5y
LiterarySloth Those are both far fetched too, but I love Jurassic Park and the first one is similar to that. 5y

Another great Pendergast novel. This one might be my favorite so far. It definitely keeps you guessing as you‘re trying to solve the mystery along with the characters.

Volunteering at the book store and I'm on book 7 for 2019! This is the first one that I'm not reading specifically for the #popsugarchallenge although I'll see if it works for any of the categories when I'm done! #pendergastseries

Question: has anyone heard of app called Otto Radio?? Anyone like it?? It‘s supposed to be like audibles.com. I signed up for the trial and found out it‘s unlimited audio books per month. Thought I‘d pass this on just in case anyone was interested.

One down, three more to go. It was a fun diversion while doing housework and cell culture, but the science was so cringe-inducingly bad, I found myself muttering at my phone several times to correct the more egregious errors. Luckily, my labmates already know I'm kind of strange, and my cats don't care. 😋

julesG Glad I'm not the only one complaining about bad sciencing in books. ;) 8y

#octphotochallenge #madscientist I know I just posted the Pendergast novels yesterday, so maybe that's why Dr Leng came to mind so quickly, but he is definitely who I think of for this category. What a creepy guy.

Just read this for the second time - first time was almost six years ago in grad school. Wonderful, atmospheric story. I remember first reading these authors, not knowing what to expect and thinking "whoa" once I realized there were paranormal elements. Highly recommended.
