I found this novel to be an enjoyable diversion. Agent Pendergast is on vacation in Kansas and encounters an unorthodox serial killer who must be stopped. I loved his "assistant" as well as the small town setting.
This series is like watching The X-files -- with less UFO stuff.

Quite good! Very strong investigative element, delicious mystery, good characterization. I think the book falters a bit towards the ending when it shifts to action/thriller (it's not bad but it probably takes up more space than it ought to).
It was absolutely awesome to read another book featuring Agent Pendergast. He is just such a phenomenal main character and the authors really maintain his personality throughout the story (and series). I recall that the previous book in the series, Cabinet of Curiosities, was not one of my favorites. However, this novel really made me remember why I loved this series so much. The story here was gripping and violent and just plain amazing. Every character that was a part of this novel was fantastically drawn and the tensions between everyone was ridiculously good! I was secretly hoping that there would be some kind of supernatural angle to it all, but that was not to be. I still enjoyed the conclusions that the authors came to for this book, as it was successful in tying all loose ends. If you are looking for a good mystery/thriller series with a unique protagonist, then this one is a must!
