Cemetery Dance

By: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Narrated by: Rene Auberjonois

Pendergast--the world's most enigmatic FBI Special Agent--returns to New York City to investigate a murderous cult.

William Smithback, a New York Times reporter, and his wife Nora Kelly, a Museum of Natural History archaeologist, are brutally attacked in their apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Eyewitnesses claim, and the security camera confirms, that the assailant was their strange, sinister neighbor--a man who, by all reports, was already dead and buried weeks earlier. While Captain Laura Hayward leads the official investigation, Pendergast and Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta undertake their own private--and decidedly unorthodox--quest for the truth. Their serpentine journey takes them to an enclave of Manhattan they never imagined could exist: a secretive, reclusive cult of Obeah and vodou which no outsiders have ever survived.

great

Rene has a masterful way of bringing life to these stories. Preston and Child have a great writing style

Creepy and cool

The plot of this book is a little far fetched, but if you are willing to take a leap of faith, the listening is golden. The narriator is top notch and every once in a while, creepy music comes out of no where to good effect. If you don't mind a story with a little "ick" you will really enjoy this.

What the heck?

I am such a fan of the Pendergast series BUT they've changed the narrator. While Rene Auberjonois is a great actor and a decent narrator, Scott Brick sort of set the tone of the characters in the previous books. Also, if you are skittish about harming animals you won't like this book. If had read this in a review, I wouldn't have read the book.

Poor storyline

Normal enjoy Pendergast, but not this story. I do not enjoy reading about animal cruelty.
