5By Voca-KidAs odd as that sounds, it's true. I first red this book when I was a kid and it was my favorite book for years.Great Read
5By Bootsie1914Really enjoyed this book, didn't want to put it down, but life happens. I thought it was a little drawn out in the end, but I really enjoy the Pentegast books.An adventure
5By GunniguguThis started my wonderful journey.Favorite Book!!!
5By TFM81This is my favorite book and these are my favorite authors!!!Read it!
5By ChristinestewartThis is the 3rd book I have read by these authors and I just couldn't put it down!Leave logic at the door
2By Ranae LemckeI prefer some hint of realism in books I take time to read. None discovered in this book with poor storyline and even worse developed characters.Dreck
1By bmerikalAlthough there are a few nice turns of phrase, this story is so very dumb, that I find the five-star reviews almost incomprehensible. Add to that some seriously annoying characters, and all I want to know is, can I get those nights I wasted reading this junk back? Please.The Cabinet of Curiosities
5By sjfloridaA great read, as usual a knock out punch is delivered by Child.Disgustingly wonderful!
5By MissyLeslieThis is an incredibly well told story, it was impossible to put down. I loved the characters and felt as though I had met them. It's been a long time since I have had this enjoyable of a read. You'd be cheating yourself if you didn't read this book.Fabulous
5By 197653This is a book you cannot put down. Fast paced, wonderful characters and an interesting plot. Highly recommended.Cabinet of Curiosities by:Preston & Lincoln
5By Joan NWhat a good book. I haven't read such a unique murder/mystery in a long time!! What a cleaver idea. Very well thought out and written. Thank you! We need more writers like you! JoanHard to put down
5By NH MimiMy husband & I loved this book. This was our first iBook. It was great. Stayed up too late reading...Thoroughly enjoyable
4By DesertSlugHaving never read a book by these authors, I had no idea what to expect. This book was well-written, well-paced, and thoroughly enjoyable. The characters are likable, the mystery is fun but not too complex, and I will definitely be looking into more books by these two. Word of warning to any archaeologists like myself: these two authors have little idea what archaeology entails, but it doesn't harm the story and will make you smile.Gripping.
5By GregVMLoved it.Couldn't put it down
5By scarywellsI really liked this book! The characters were great. The story was written in a way that kept you wanting to know what was going to happen next. So I read the book in a few days, and had a hard time putting it down. I can't believe it only cost me $0.99. Now I want to read other books by these authors.T.M.I.
3By Da_QueenI am certainly not an expert at writing book reviews... I am just a normal reader who enjoys a good book. This book was ok. I didn't guess the "who done it". I must confess, I probably read only half of this book and skimmed the other half. There just was so much clutter to sift through! Writing that seemed to me to be filler to make the novel thick. Had I known how much I would be skimming to get to the actual story, I would have never purchased or bothered to read this book.
