Are there any Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child fans here?
Early last year I happened across "The Cabinet of Curiosities" and loved it. Then I read "Still Life with Crows" and "Brimstone". I also read "Ice Limit", but it is the Pendergast stories I really like. I am half way through "Dance of Death" and I have "The Book of the Dead" ready to start when I finish.

I love mysteries and I find books written by these two authors so descriptive. I feel as though I am there in the sub basements or the caverns and can really visualize what is happening.

1. Have fun
These guys certainly take you on a roller coaster ride. I've read or listened to all of them, except the most recent, which I think just came out, or will soon. The last couple have not been among their best. That said, let's face it, some of the stories are more than a little outlandish, but the major plot line of the last one or two strains credulity (okay, they all strain credulity). In any case, they are a blast to read. Try getting them in recorded books also.

2. I like them to be a little outlandish.
That's part of the charm. If they weren't--they would just be another mystery.
