I liked this enough that I may read more in this series.
I liked this one better. It was a really interesting case. I liked the Idea with the cave system, the Indian history and Corrie was a cool character.
I like the writing, but sometimes the descriptions become lengthy. Will continue the series

Again I really enjoyed this one. It does seem that Pendergast books have the same type of characters in it. Brash, arrogant cop; know it all, troublesome reporter and someone who assists. I really like Corries character though, having met her in later novels. That did take some of the suspense away.
The end though...just wow. It wasn't massively surprising the type of monster but the meanings behind the arrangements of murders is insane.

At first I thought this book was kinda dragging and the thought of a monster really doing this I thought was stupid. So in the end all the pieces came together---even the reasons why it was much better. Not one of the best pendergast novels though
content note: child neglect, outsider art, amoral violence
Set in a small town in Kansas, Pendergast visits after a woman is found dead, en tableau, posed in the middle of a clearing in a corner field, surrounded by crows impaled on Cheyenne arrows dating back to the mid 1800s. Local police of course are certain it must be the work of someone from out of town, but Pendergast finds that doubtful, in countryside where approaching vehicles can be seen from miles away. More murders and the issue of bad publicity while the state university makes a decision about potentially siting a GMO corn field project locally or at a nearby rival town leads to much tension.
Pendergast enlists the help of a local high school student (and locally viewed as a bad egg and troublemaker by the sheriff), Corrie, to help drive him around and assist with his investigation. Pendergast unravels the origins of the local legend regarding a massacre and together with the sheriff and state police, uncover horrors near inconceivable.
This one didn't grip me as much as the three previous but I still found it interesting enough.
