Great Book!
I have read the entire Pendergast series, as well as very book Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child have written together. This one is my favorite. A definite must read :o)

The cabinet of curiosities
This novel certainly is a seat and bed burner. I could not leave my chair or bed while reading this book for fear I would miss something. This book is certainly an attention getter; well written and very graphic in ones "minds eye."

Best of Series
I have read all the books featuring Special Agent Pendergast, including the most recent "Wheel of Darkness" and "Cabinet of Curiosities" is the best. It is well plotted and has little bits of arcane information which are a pleasure to read. All the Pendergast novels are good fun but this one is still the best.

Keeps you curious!
I love this series of books about Insp. Pendergast! Well written with twisting plot lines, well fleshed charcters. I could hardly wait for the next to come out. I have read all of them that are current and now am waiting for the new one to be available. You will not go wrong with any of the books by either of these authors, whether it is the Pendergast series or any of the other books they have written. Just make sure you have nothing to do, I couldn't put it down.
