Old Bones by Douglas PrestonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Pendergast fans will thrill to know that this first book in a new series features two familiar female protagonists! Archeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson...the duo we never knew we wanted, but needed.
Based on the true horror story of the Donner Party (American pioneers resort to survival cannibalism), perhaps it wasn't the best of ideas to read this at night. 😂
It's classic Preston & Child, all efficient prose, exciting adventure, but with more human (humane?) heroines.
Pendergast was nearly godlike with his sleuthing skills.
Nora and Corrie, while intelligent and courageous, have to work harder at the same game. And it makes me sympathize with them all the more.
Always worth reading, these novels! This would be the 19th novel in the Pendergast universe, albeit the first of the Nora Kelly series. Oh and Aloysius Pendergast fans will love the surprise at the end! ☺
