ISBN:
629 pages
This was a bit more of a book than I have been reading lately. Quite lengthy. But I couldn't put it down (I am lae in coming to know these characters and the writers).
Special Agent Pendergast and archaeologist Nora Kelly team up again in this thrilling adventure, bone-chilling, novel. And as always, Lincoln and Child keep us on the edge of our seat anticipating their next move. The highs and lows were spectacular!
As they work independently, and again together, we read a well researched novel that can only be called "spectacular"!
When a centuries old mass murder is uncovered, Pendergast and Kelly are the only locals that can cover it and perhaps provide information that will provent a "copycat" from adding to the death toll. Is a killer from the 19th century back from the grave? Only these two can find the truth.
I highly recommend this novel if you enjoy action, adventure, mystery, crime, and just a bit of the paranormal.
I give this novel

The Easy Camp Cookbook by Amelia Mayer

Origin by Dan Brown...03 January 2021
This is a novel that spans 456 pages in the hardback variety. I was hooked by the first page from the start! I simply couldn't put it back down! It really is a work of art. And once again Langdon comes in at the very beginning. His ability to read and understand symbols is put to the test on this book!
Langdon takes hold of the beautiful fiancee of a soon to be king. The whole event takes place in less than 14 hours. Amazing! The writing of Brown again makes it plausible that this could happen!
Langdon teams up with a computer named Winston, and if not for the computer the duo would not have been able to accomplish that that they must.
A death of the man who insituted a gala evening meant the couple were being stalked by the murderrer.
And once again, Langdon was left to wonder about his own religious views, if any. And in that, we are reminded of Angels and Demons, the book that was second best to The DaVinci Code. Brown has written a superb novel here. However, even that he has carried the hero from the first, it seems like he used a shortcut in the ending. It just didn't add up the way that it should. Perhaps Brown wrote it this way just to make us poor schmucks have to use our brain and ask, is the story even plausible?
That being said, I loved the book! Can't wait to read more!

Actor Dies at 90
Actor Sir Sean Connery died last night. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1930. He was 90. He will be remembered for his prolific role as James Bond, 007. He was perhaps the most iconic actor to play the role.
He leaves behind his wife, and his sons.
He will be sorely missed.
