Agent Pendergast is at it again - solving a mystery that has everyone else stumped. This time he is "on vacation" in a small town in Kansas, just the place where a murder victim has turned up. A serial killer emerges, but one that is unlike any other. Pendergast takes on an assistant in this fourth of the Pendergast series, a rebellious teenager named Corrie Swanson. Together they work with (and sometimes against) local law enforcement in attempt to stop the serial killer and save the small town.

anyone who loves a good mystery!

Agent Pendergast is always a favorite for Lincoln/Child fans, but a new favorite emerges with the side character of Corrie Swanson. The relationship between she and Pendergast is a touching one. I also liked the supernatural feel to this mystery.

read another in the Pendergast series!

Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child have written a few very successful novels together. Fans tend to agree that seperately the authors are average, but together they write exceptional mystery novels.

Though this book is considered part of a series, it is not necessary to read the others first. There is no order that must be followed with these novels. Still Life with Crows just happens to be the latest novel published. Enjoy them in any order!
