If you read one book by Preston and Childs, this is the one. Pendergast is a great character, and the plot is fascinating. ( )

Are you ready for a dark supernatural thriller? One laded with enough mystery and intrigue to guarantee page turning into the darkest hours of early morning. If you are, then The Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is the novel for you. Follow FBI Special Agent Pendergast through the cravens of New Your City as he tries to solve not one, but two cases, one involving a serial killer looking for the ultimate satisfaction of prolonged life, the other a copycat of the first. Spoiled readers who’ve already experienced Preston and Child will know the many turns, dead ends, and plot devices used by these authors. For those of you that are experiencing these authors for the first time, I envy you. Suspend belief and read this book, you won’t be sorry. This title is currently available in our library. Happy Reading! ( )

I really liked this one. I found the whole premise imaginative and captivating; it was nice to get a P&C with a 19th century flair, and it was so much fun to get to see more of Pendergast being awesome. A wonderfully creepy thriller. ( )
