The Book of the Dead (Special Agent Pendergast Series #7) [with Earbuds] Book

This was so good! I couldn't put it down. Another epic thriller by the tag team of Preston/Child!

Okay, so here's the thing. I can't say too much on the plot of this book because it's the third one in the Diogenes series. You would need to go to book #5 (Brimstone) to start the book trio between the Pendergast brothers.

Aloysius is an FBI agent and reminds me of Sherlock. Extremely intelligent, calm and resourceful. Minus the whole cocaine habit. Ha!
Diogenes is his brilliant, psychotic brother and he makes me think of Moriarty. And he HATES Aloysius.
Yeah you're right, they have some weird parents and relatives to give them those names!!

Now, they aren't exactly like Sherlock and Moriarty in the books but it will give you an idea of the type of epic battle of wits between the two. They are both intelligent, brilliant and 5 steps ahead of us stupid people.

Back to the 7th book in the series and the 3rd book in the Diogenes series. Trust me, it might sound confusing but it's not. Just start at Relic (1st book in the series) and read the books in consecutive order. I guess I am laying all the groundwork in this review so you do not start with this book. This is not a stand alone!

This book involves Egyptian curses, the prison system and love that turns into revenge and hate!
(Really, that's all that I can say about the plot without ruining book #5 (Brimstone) and #6 (Dance of Death)).

If you want action, suspense along with some creepy factors in a series, go read this series. I've enjoyed and loved every book so far! Each book has a great plot, excellent technical and science details along with memorable characters.

I've had such a fun time reading these books and damn do they get addicting!
