A review by wynnz
Old Bones by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

5.0

An archaeologist and an FBI agent investigate a 175-year-old mystery. See how all the pieces come together in this enthralling story, with a good old-fashioned treasure hunt thrown in for good measure. Nothing quite captures human fascination and ignites the imagination like the mere mention of gold. No other metal possesses the unique power to set the human mind's juices flowing and salivating, arousing a hunger for its allure.

This is a classic page-turner if ever I've read one, featuring well-rounded characters and a head-scratcher of a mystery that keeps the intrigue and suspense intact until the very last page. Each chapter reveals just enough information to deepen the intrigue, while the complexity of the characters adds depth to the story.

From the very first page, I was engrossed in the web of clues, trying to piece together the puzzle. The suspense builds relentlessly, heightening anticipation with every twist and turn. This novel is a well-crafted and compelling narrative that will leave readers guessing until the final revelations.

Truly, a must-read for any fan of mystery and suspense!
