Thanks so much - have read several by these authors and liked them. Look forward to reading this one as well. Thanks, oldreader!
Realized I didn't journal this after I read it - I liked the book and then realized it's part of a series. Just what I need more books to read....what a nice dilemna.

Putting in svoight's mystery bookbox.
This book returned in the Paperback Mystery Bookbox, Thanks for including it! I am looking foward to reading it and then passing it on.
Unlike other readers I didn't really care for this book. I liked the part about the museum since I always have been interested in Egyptian History, but found the rest to be a little far fetched. I will be including this book in the "The" Bookbox

Arrived home in my ABC box. I will repack the box sometime in the next couple of days and get the box moving again. I've already read this book.
Enjoy! travelling to its new home with sha for "D" is for December, KTM, and RABCK release challenges. I love it when my books find new homes.
Tnx so much Jan for this RABCK. I am reading 3 books at the moment but when I finish those, I will start on this. After I read it, I will release it into the wild.
8- actually. Love this series and after I finished reading BOTD I read that the authors suggested I read Dance of Death before this book. Oh well, I did get the gist of the book and found it a page turner as usual. I didn't quite get the Constance Green role but loved the ending. I have several more Pendergast books to read, yahooo, life is good.
From Publishers Weekly
Bestsellers Preston and Child have come up with another gripping, action-packed page-turner in this concluding volume to a trilogy pitting their Holmesian hero, FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast, against his Mycroft-turned-Moriarty—his younger brother, Diogenes. Picking up shortly after the events of 2005's Dance of Death, the book opens with the arrival of a package of fine dust at the Museum of Natural History; Diogenes has returned the diamonds he stole earlier. Meanwhile, Aloysius is in prison, having been framed for a number of murders. As his friends plot to spring him, his adversary lays the groundwork for a crowning criminal achievement. A mysterious benefactor funds the restoration of an ancient Egyptian tomb at the museum, but the work is beset by the mayhem Preston and Child's readers have come to expect—gory murders and suggestions of the supernatural. This entry, tying up many loose ends from its predecessors, is less likely to work as well for first-time readers, but followers of Aloysius Pendergast's previous exploits will find it a satisfying read with a tantalizing, ominous twist at the end. 10-city author tour. (June)
