APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
There’s gruesome murder, macabre violence, and even time travel in this supernatural-tinged thriller. The elegant and eerie FBI Special Agent Pendergast is on a mission to save his love, Constance Greene. She has travelled back in time to rescue her siblings from the killer Dr. Leng, who harvests spinal fluid from his orphan victims to extend his life—and by doing so, Constance puts herself in his crosshairs. We absolutely loved the way Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child filled this listen with impeccably researched details about everything from architecture to mechanical engineering (not to mention some cleverly invented specifics about how time machines work). Narrator Jefferson Mays’ measured performance perfectly conveys the novel’s rich depictions of 1880s New York. If you aren’t already a fan of the long-running Pendergast series, this visit to the grimy streets of the Gilded Age will make you one.
