One of the most creepiest books that i might have happened to have read in a long time.


I am a little scared still ©.©

To quote my good friend Velma Dinkley, "I did not see that coming!" This was an incredibly vivid, fast paced read. It was the first Pendergast mystery I've read and now I can't wait to pick up the first two in the series. This book had a lot of interesting themes dealing with death and eternal life, I'm excited to discuss it with my reading group tonight!

Guilty pleasure pallet cleanser. I ❤ Pendergast.

It is a toss up as to which one I like better, Cabinet of Curiosities or Still Life with Crows. Pendergast #3 is a winner. We start to learn more about Pendergast's and his odd family and past.

My son who is 13 found this book to be extremely interesting.  His plan is to be a history teacher so this was right up his alley.  For me it was just okay.  I did like that the chapters were very short and easy to read.  And it’s always nice to learn some new historical facts. 
Overall not my particular cup of tea, but I’m sure it will appeal to many.  
I received a ARC of this title, all opinions are my own.

I really liked this installment of the Pendergast series and I think it's my favorite so far. I made the mistake of reaching the final act when I was planning on going to bed and found I couldn't put it down. This is also the first book where I feel Pendergast starts taking center stage. There were a couple shaky aspects to the plot, but I read books for enjoyment and try not to overanalyze them too much. It was very suspenseful, with plenty of plot twists and angst. I'm definitely going to continue the series. 

Without a doubt...the best of the Pendergast books.

Another great Pendergast read. Wow! There was a lot of action' loved it. great story throughout.
