[Caution: Spoilers from the word go} I read all of the Preston and Cloud books although I often find myself frustrated by the complete rationalism of them. Everything that appears supernatural is undone and shown to be a perfectly natural, albeit heinous and diabolically clever ruse of one sort of another. There were intimations in Wheel of Darkness that they may have moved a little from their rationalist...

"The Monster's crimes were so horrific that a mere man could not possibly have committed them. Satan, in the end, had to be invoked. After all, this is Italy." --Douglas Preston America has a deep and, some would say disturbing fascination with serial killers. Jeffery Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, The Zodiac Killer; all have captured our attention. Strangely enough though, the one that passed us by is the...

As taut and tense as any of Douglas Preston's best-selling thrillers, "The Monster of Florence" tells the fascinating, stomach-churning story of a mysterious serial killer who preys on young lovers around Florence, and the equally mysterious workings of the Italian judicial system.

When I first heard about Douglas Preston’s Italian journalist pal Mario Spezi being imprisoned for their investigation into a serial killer, I’ll admit I thought I smelled a hoax — an effort to build buzz for what would be a forthcoming thriller. THE MONSTER OF FLORENCE is that novel, only it’s not a novel at [...]

One of my favorite Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child thrillers is not an Agent Pendergast book, but a stand-alone novel, Riptide. The story revolves around an island, riddled with underwater tunnels and shafts, and the Water Pit - all which have been rigged with booby traps and riptides. Could millions of dollars of pirate gold be hidden at the bottom of the Water Pit? Can the characters in the book...

I need to whittle down some of my stacks of books. If you are interested in a copy of Immorta l by Traci L. Slatton -- leave a comment on this post. I'll draw a name on Friday and send the book to the winner. I can't keep up with reviews.
