A tense, engrossing page-turner. Agent Pendergast is a fascinating, mysterious lead character. Wild but riveting plot very violent. An effective cross between a mystery/thriller and an out-and-out horror novel, with the last third of the book completely bonkers (in a good way).

I read this book as a young teen and was completely traumatized. Turns out it's not much less disturbing as an adult. Not my favorite of the series so far, but still a hell of a thriller.

Cada libro de esta serie me gusta más que el anterior, es verdad que todos, hasta el momento, tienen los mismos elementos: asesinatos horripilantes, pendergast que llega a investigar sin venir al caso, un asesino raro y peculiar, persecuciones en lugares cerrados, húmedos y extraños...

Pero a pesar de ello no deja de ser un libro que se disfruta mucho, que se lee fácil y que entretiene mucho, a veces siento como que rizan mucho el rizo, pero hasta eso me divierte.

Pendergast como personaje, es todo un misterio para mi, pero con todo y sus rarezas, a pesar de que no se sabe prácticamente nada de él, a pesar de que hasta este libro al menos no se nos explica porque aparece como de la nada y que gana con ello, no deja de ser todo un personaje atrayente.

Definitivo no le doy mas calificación porque hay que ser honestos y no es para nada el libro del año, pero definitivamente entretiene, definitivamente me la paso bien y definitivamente me dan ganas de continuar.

Muy entretenido de leer, yo recomendaría esta serie sin vacilar a cualquiera que se quiera pasar un buen rato.

These books are always amazing!

A little Criminal Minds. A little X-Files. A little Sherlock. And a little Scooby Doo. Mix it all together and you have Pendergast. I’ve only read two, but they’re effectively gripping, albeit silly, thrillers. I mean silly in a positive way, because I don’t want my serial killer books taking themselves too seriously. The authors do a good job creating the world of their super sleuth FBI agent, and the plot hits all the right beats.

Creepy and atmospheric - everything I've come to expect from a Pendergast novel.
