The tempo is still beating the way it should be. Again a lot of previous caracters and places cross their way in the book, which is left unfinished - no other possibility than to read the next one :-)

Very good. The series is getting nice. Still some shortcuts, but enjoyable. Loads of cross-references as well, so it does help to have read the previous episodes, even if it is not strictly necessary. Bit of a cliffhanger this one :-)

Finally, Pendergast as it should be :-) Glad to report my fears after the previous installments of the series were not founded. It is now going in a much better direction.

Mmmm. Third book in the saga, my comment to the previous still stand: quite verbose, a bit too much for my taste. Also some recurring gimmicks are starting to appear.

Nice. Still a bit verbose - too many flashback to previous book for my taste, but nice twists and turns.
A bit verbose for my taste, but nice mystery... Now on to volume two to see the end of the story...
As expected - many twists and turns. Again, if you like mysteries / thrillers, this is for you. Available on Gutenberg: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/71073. Enjoy !
As usual, most excellent S. King. Almost missed my plane with that one. Was so deep in the book I forgot where I was. A dozen of short stories, some very short, some longer. Most excellent, but then I'm probably biased. definitely recommended
