To be honest I had a hard time with this book for the first 150 or so pages, but once I really got to reading it was a very good read. The last 100 pages were a breeze to get through as you wanted to find out how this was going to end. Overall, a very interesting story and I will check out the other books by these authors.

A serial killer starts killing in a small Kansas town. The corn is high, the heat is hot and the agent, that appears out of nowhere, dressed all black, is really weird....
If you are into graphic violence, this is for you. Really nasty murders, with a lot of detail! Ewwww. I sort of made my way through that book in small doses. Pretty gruesome. And that agent was really very weird.
I have read other books by these authors and loved them. But this one was so violent, it put me off a bit. Just a bit too much, thank you.

I really wanted to like this book, but it was a pretty terrible read. Far-fetched, flat characters, and maybe the world’s longest [very not awesome] ending. Would have been dramatically better if an editor had said “hey, maybe there doesn’t need to be 200+ pages of pointless nothing?” Also, the main character’s deduction skills are obviously top-notch, but come across as 100% non-believable and incongruous to every relationship and setting throughout the story.

It drags a bit in the middle and could have used a tighter edit.

4th in the Pendergast series. This book is set in Kansas and there are savage killings frightening a small town. So much I enjoyed in this book, from the Native American lore to the caves to the information regarding GMO corn and turkey plants to Pendergast and his spunky side-kick. This was a fantastic read.
This book was absolutely intense! I could not have predicted the ending what so ever! As usually Preston & Child introduce another strong female character that helps Detective Pendergast solve these unexplainable crimes. This book was dark and definitely thrilling. It left me thinking about the ending for days after I finished.
Great thriller. Good pacing and interesting characters. A drawn out climax that's really scary and the final scene made me laugh and shiver. Well played!
