A review by taylorhousebooks
Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston

3.0

This was not as gripping as previous Pendergast novels. I like zombies and all, but it fell short of being a page-turner. I am becoming annoyed with Preston and Child in these novels, specifically the way they never reveal anything to the reader. They wait until the very end to reveal what is really going on. I prefer novels in which the reader has a bit of a glimpse into the mystery before the protagonist does. Books like this that do not give anything away make me want to skip over huge chunks of it just so I can learn more without having to plod through it. Also, one of the best characters, whom I have enjoyed throughout the series so far, is killed in this book. If the series continues in this vein, I am not overly eager to pursue it.
