Reviews

Another in the long-running PENDERGAST series. This one starts out strong with the death of a major character (no real spoiler -- it's on the dustjacket) and is actually one of the more compelling of the series. Although the denoument requires a pretty major suspension of disbelief, this is a crisply written whodunit with all of the usual Preston/Douglas trappings. A hint of the supernatural, multiple plot twists, and engaging protagonists make this one well worth your time.

Recommended.

Knihy s Norou Kelly mám moc ráda. Když se k ní připojí Pendergast, Vincent D'Agosta a Will Smithback, máte záruku kvalitního příběhu. Trocha WooDoo, pár zombií, jedna malá sekta a velké tajemství? Tomu už se nedá odolat.
Další díl ze série Pendergast mě do děje vtáhl hned od začátku a neuvěřitelně bavil. Autorské duo Preston & Child, dokáže do každé ze svých knih přidat špetku té originality, příběhu pak nechybí spád ani napětí. A realističnost? Však kdo ji potřebuje. Základem je, se skvěle bavit.
