A review by wanderlustsleeping
The Book of the Dead by Douglas Preston

mysterious tense slow-paced

3.0

Thank God this trilogy is over!!

These guys know how to write, but what in the world was all this??
Pendergast falling in love with a woman who has been in 15 pages total overall, and 3 pages before it was proclaimed that they were in love?? I hope she goes away at some point, like she doesn’t even feel like a character of her own.

I called Constance being pregnant, and honestly Diogenes taking her virginity was the vilest thing that happened in this book. Yes, including the way people ended up after the light show.

The writing leading up to and during the museum finale was excellent and engaging, and I do love seeing Constance be brilliant, but there did not need to be 100 more pages after that!
