The Official Website of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child - Old Bones: A Nora Kelly Novel

This was quite good. Very exciting in places. :bigbow::popcorn:

Old Bones
 

I've read all of the Preston/Child books and I'm glad to see them bring back Nora Kelly. Always thought she was a well written character. I have a tendency when I am reading to "cast" the leading characters as they might appear in a movie. Curious if anyone else thinks the only actor to portray Agent Pendergast in these stories should be Christopher Walkin.

Great choice for that character.

Have you ever read Searching for Tamsen Donner? I can't imagine making a novel out of this tragedy.

She figures a lot in this novel. Her diary and what is in it.

We lived in Reno, Nevada from 1970 through 1984 so the Donner Party came up a lot in conversation as Donner Pass was only about 40 miles away from Reno. Donner Pass - Wikipedia
