Reseñas de la Crítica

"From the first [minute], Still Life with Crows is creepy, disturbing, and altogether fascinating: Preston and Child at their best." (Salem Statesman Journal (OR))

"Highly entertaining...a creepy, well-plotted novel...Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's trademark mix of mystery, suspense, horror, and history proves to be a combination that works." (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

"Smart, skillful writers who have fun spinning their tall tale, and if you enjoy things-that-go-bump-in-the-night thrillers, you'll have fun [listening to] it." (Washington Post Book World)

Dark

I was unhappy with the portrayal of the handicapped person especially with the unlikely ending

Slow

All Preston and Child Books are good. To me they have an excessive amount of superfluous detail and it would be nice if they were about 2/3 as long. Still I can’t stop listening to them at 1.25 or hidgher

On the edge.

It kept me on the edge of my seat! Just when you think it's going to settle down, it hits you again!

One of the better Pendergast novels

Love this story. Shows the human side of Pendergast at the end. One of the better written and full story in one book novels.

Great book!

Love the Pendergast character, he is so quirky! These books are very entertaining, on to the next one!

For Pendergast fans

If you love the Pendergast series, this one doesn’t disappoint.
I wouldn’t recommend spending the extra on the book track, the background sounds are not necessarily adding to the book content.

Thrilling!!!

Great story line!! Got goosebumps listening to it! Must try this book and the whole series.

Murder in Medicine Creek

This was book 4 in the Pendergast series. It continues the amazing partnership of Preston and Child. Both fantastic authors individually, they are magic together. This book finds Pendergast in the sticks, in vacation, to solve a disturbing murder mystery. They perfectly capture the spirit and essence of a dying small town, from the atmosphere, the weather and the populace. This investigation also confounds Psndergast, since it is like no other. We also meet lovely Corrie Swanson, a young Goth girl with guts. The protagonist is quite a twist. It is a tense thrill ride, magnificently narrated by Scott Brick. Hours of juicy Pendergast goodness that I just didn't want to end, and what an ending!

Excellent story, annoying background music

I love the Pendergast stories, and this one is excellent: an air of creepiness, a bizarre mystery to solve, and the calm, enigmatic Agent Pendergast methodically assembling the pieces to a puzzle. Scott Brick, as usual, brings an edgy, dramatic tone that propels the story and makes you want to keep listening.

My complaint with this book is in the production. Rather than let Preston and Child's narrative and Brick's interpretation of the characters come through in their compelling way, the producers laced the story with annoying background music. Doing this at the end or beginning of a scene can be effective. This time, though, the music ran constantly, detracting from the story and weakening the book overall. The effect was like putting catsup on an excellent cake.
