Critic reviews

"Smart, skillful writers who have fun spinning their tall tale, and if you enjoy things-that-go-bump-in-the-night thrillers, you'll have fun reading it."—Washington Post Book World

"From the first page, STILL LIFE WITH CROWS is creepy, disturbing, and altogether fascinating: Preston and Child at their best."—Salem Statesman Journal (OR)

"Highly entertaining . . . a creepy, well-plotted novel . . . Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's trademark mix of mystery, suspense, horror, and history proves to be a combination that works."—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Pendergast, Unabridged.

I dislike abridged books. Resulting from that I have been reduced to reading the Pendergast series out of order, shameful really. The release of this book leaves only two Pendergast novels remaining still abridged, "The Cabinet of Curiosities" and "Brimstone". Do try to rectify this situation soon Audible. I can't decided if I prefer Brick or Auberjonois , really either is more than satisfactory. Like any Pengergast novel you will not be disappointed by this volume, and the price what more could one want.

I like the NYC locations better

Pendergast is so cool!

I miss the urban setting of New York City but the authors are experts at developing locations and this little section of Kansas is no exception. True to their other works, Preston and Child give us a creepy, scary, exciting tale of murder in a small town. I felt this was a bit more like Reacher than Pendergast - our hero showing up when needed. But it works.

The relationship with Corrie was quite touching for the stoic Pendergast. I hope there's more of her.

It's good to have Scott Brick read the audiobook. Previous narrators have not done the books justice.

REALLY?

Any additional comments?

I always enjoy listening to Preston & Childs. Pendergast is on my top ten characters list. I especially liked the fact that there were parts of this reading that made me uncomfortable and on edge, like the awful and weird "sound" in the chases. I seldom get actually scared, but this one did it several times. It was a bit out there in being believable. But that was okay it is imagination and fiction. Anyone wanting to just listen to a good read should get this, it doesn't have to be in the time line of the series. I like caves and cornfields that pretty much sums it up. But, I will never go in either one again without wanting to keep looking behind me. Buy it ! Certainly will keep your attention.

Best narrator!

Great story made even better by Mr. Brick. Definitely one of the best narrators I have heard in a long time!

Action packed!

As good as the first, a great book that's hard to put down. looking forward to the next one.
