Book Review of Still Life with Crows (Pendergast, Bk 4)

Still Life with Crows (Pendergast, Bk 4)
reviewed on + 30 more book reviews


This latest Preston and Child thriller, even in abbreviated form, offers gore galore, mutilations, bizarre ritual murders, an obstreperous sheriff, a young woman in jeopardy, a town consumed by terror and a spooky local legend-in short, an abundance of traditional suspense novel ingredients. Compensating for this apparent lack of imagination is the thriller's remarkable hero, Special Agent Pendergast, who's on leave from the FBI.
