Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston
4.0
My favorite character EVER, Pendergast! Who could not love him? I am addicted to these wonderful books by Preston/Child and usually give them highter marks. However, I am devasted by the loss of a beloved character. I totally didn't believe it. Right to the bitter end, I thought it was a ploy, a joke, a hoax. Alas, it was not. It's going to take me awhile to forgive them for that one :)
The storyline was solid for the most part, with everything naturally coming together in the end. The center of this mystery is about an animal sacraficing religious cult that lives, not exactly legally, in the middle of New York in an unused church of a sort and do things that are basically against the law, however nothing ever really happens to them. They can't evict them, they get to kill animals and other strange and questionable behaviors that I would think is illegal. So I feel unresolved about the ending. Since they were only used to shield what was really going on. I felt the ending could have been better.
With that said, I did like this book, just didn't LOVE this book.
