Thanks for the thread, hermetic.

I enjoyed this book even more than I thought I would. It was more than just a murder mystery or monster story. Another page-turner by these authors. I was able to suspend disbelief that the killer wouldn't have had severe rickets (disease) given the circumstances. I liked the teaming of Pendergast with the goth high school girl. It also gave me a smile that, at the end, Corrie was going to visit her father in Allentown, PA (where I work).

I'll have to stop by the library on the way home from work for a new book.
