Relic, a Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child thriller that introduces FBI Special Agent Pendergast

Just days before a massive exhibition opens at the popular New York Museum of Natural History, visitors are being savagely murdered in the museum's dark hallways and secret rooms. Autopsies indicate that the killer cannot be human....

But the museum's directors plan to go ahead with a big bash to celebrate the new exhibition, in spite of the murders.

Museum researcher Margo Green must find out who - or what - is doing the killing. But can she do it in time to stop the massacre?

What the critics say

"With its close-up view of museum life and politics, plausible scientific background, sharply drawn characters and a plot line that's blissfully free of gratuitous romance, this well-crafted novel offers first-rate thrills and chills." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Wildly cool....Thrill hounds couldn't ask for a creepier environment....a thriller staged in the world's scariest building, with no room for the squeamish." ( Kirkus Reviews)

I am trying to get into audiobooks and I decided to go with a book I've already read before to start. I love this book and the narrator just made it all the better, he was engaging and every character voice was different. I am really glad I went with this choice and loved every second of it.

Great audiobook!

I L-O-V-E this character, and it’s good to hear the beginning of the story… The performance was sub-par.

Not their best.

I enjoyed the character representation. As a reader I was entranced by the various personalities and how they reacted to the danger in the way that particular personality should react.

I have always appreciated the film. It is very possibly my favorite monster film, though some other films offer up quite stiff competition.

Anyhow, that aside....this book was a fantastic listen. I see now the criticism regarding the film adaptation opposed to the book. The film does not do the book any justice. Film adaption is usually always so........ no 🤔

Great Book, great narrator
