rumpelteazer 's review for:

Still Life with Crows by Douglas Preston
4.0

It was hard to pick how many starts I wanted to give this book. I liked it a little bit less than the previous three books of the Pendergast series, which I gave 4 stars, but I liked it better than the three star "liked it" classification.

Unlike book one, two and three in the series this one doesn't read as fast. It might have something to do with the fact that POV is often switched to characters that aren't that important for the story, e.g. the sherrif.

I'm also starting to get a bit annoyed that in every book until now the police, especially higher ranking officers, are dumb and refuse to help Pendergast. I like Corry Swanson and I hope she returns in the series.

I liked the story; it isn't too predictable. I would have liked to read a bit more about the Native Americans though.
