Critics Review
-
PRAISE FOR THE CABINET OF DR. LENG:
“This book is a lot of fun. The writing is crisp and lightly ornate, as usual, and the story is inventive and suspenseful."—Booklist -
PRAISE FOR BLOODLESS:
—Kirkus
"Leave it to the imaginations of Preston and Child . . . Spooky and surreal [and] wonderful fun." -
“Bloodless is rife with inventive scenarios, amusing exchanges (especially between oft-impatient Coldmoon and eternally placid Pendergast) and tantalizingly spooky mysteries, topped off with a gloriously wild finale that is as action-packed as it is memorable.”—BookPage (Starred Review)
-
PRAISE FOR CROOKED RIVER:
"Preston and Child know how to craft compelling stories that are both baffling and surprising. The cast of characters feels authentic and moves the story forward in unexpected ways. . . the authors are masters of the procedural with a gothic flair."—Associated Press
