Ilustration As Books Still Life With Crows (Pendergast #4)
YES!! Another great addition in the Pendergast series!I’m sure you can you tell I’m excited to do this review, right? You’ve got to understand that my enthusiasm for this book is also for the series. Almost all the books in this series are entertaining, fun and thrilling. The tension is just lights out.
The books are just so good! I mean, isn't that what we want when we read? To be entertained?
Thanks Terry for another great buddy read while we travel down Pendergast lane!
So, how does this book start? It starts in a small town in Kansas with rows of corn ready for harvest and a killer on the loose. I really thought the setting of Kansas would not work for me in this book and oh boy, I was wrong.
Let me paint a scene for you so you’ll get the idea.
You’re running and gasping through 12’ rows of corn in the darkest of night. Trying not to trip, you’re completely isolated and lost. There’s a killer racing behind you. You can hear their heavy footsteps as they pace you in the darkness while they scream "MuuuuuuUUUUUUHHHHHHHH!!"
Yeah, corn can be frightening folks. Next time you eat some corn on the cob, make sure no one’s breathing loud next to you. o.O
Preston and Child are masters at scaring the shit out of you. Seriously, I hope this is on their tombstones when they die because it will be fitting.
I read horror books a lot and there were moments in this book that scared the living bejesus outta me.
In regards to my ridiculous and sporadic review, this book was great. And awesome. And I loved every damn, corn eatin' minute of it!

There are books that once you start reading it is sooo hard to put it down, this 4th installment of the Pendergast series is one of those books. This book tells of a series of deaths that are gruesome as they come and Pendergast on vacation in a little town in central USA is very curious about the situation and invites himself.Pendergast as always works very wel when it highlights some curious bit of Americana, in this case the disappearing towns in the great expanse of the United states. TownsYou can smell the farmland and hear the Kansas winds rustling through fields of corn as the erudite FBI agent with a touch of the supernatural about him, Pendergast, brings to the heartland his dark suit, 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, and seemingly endless knowledge of the strange and otherworldly.Squeezed between The Cabinet of Curiosities and Brimstone, two of the best in the series, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child created another terrific novel that is part mystery, part thriller, and
I love several books in the Pendergast series. But, I think Still Lif with Crows is my personal favorite. It has an interesting and engrossing plot and best of it all we are introduced to Corrie Swanson, who besides Pendergast is my favorite character in the series!
3.5 stars. Pendergast is a great character! This series can be pretty creepy actually and this one was no exception. The books make a good occasional read for when I've overdosed on one type of book (usually fantasy in my case)! These books are always suspenseful, not too demanding but also not too predictable.
This was spookier and scarier than its predecessors. Didn't think that was probable.3.75 stars

I really enjoyed this one, so much more than the last one.Like another reviewer said, Preston & Child held out to the very end to reveal the why of the crime. Maybe I liked this one so much because Pendergast was on vacation, or maybe I liked it so much because I liked his assistant so much, as I am sure many of us do. Preston & Child did a real good job of telling the story of an abused teenager who was bullied by her peers and was going to make it out of her small town.As I was
