so-soFirst in the Nora Kelly series. She was introduced in the Pendergast series which is fantastic. This was slower, less engaging. I‘ll book 2 a try.

pickI don't read a ton of mysteries, but I can always count on this writing duo when I'm in the mood for one! This was the first in a new series, although the 2 main characters have been featured in other books before. An archeological dig, the Donner Party, murder, treasure... what's not to like here?!
pick🎧 I didn‘t like the narrator. Corrie Swanson who we met in Still Life With Crows (Agent Pendergast novel) is now an FBI special agent & working with the Nora Kelly. I miss Smithback. Well it‘s the retelling of the Donner party. A fictional missing 3rd camp, a treasure hunt, gory. Agent Pendergast shows up in the last 15 minutes. It was a really good book with poor narration. I‘d listen to another book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickA bit predictable at times, but an enjoyable story. I liked the technical aspects of the archaeological dig and the scenery as well. I‘m hoping it‘s a good introduction to a few regular characters.

I have to run into Charlotte, but first....
pickA new series in the Pendergast-verse featuring Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson! I loved it! Awesome mystery highly recommend
pickI have enough series I am reading and now they came out with a new series involving Nora Kelly. Why?? Because they figure I don't have enough to read all ready!
pickI‘m never disappointed with Preston and Child. It was wonderful to see Nora in her element again. Can‘t wait for the next book! #oldbones #prestonandchild
pickFrom the creators of my favourite book series (Agent Pendergast 🙌) comes a brand new series with two intelligent and strong female leads. A mix of archeological history and FBI procedural, this first book did not disappoint! Looking forward to the next instalment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Booked2019 #Booked2019Summer #bookgiftedtoyou #seasonalreadingchallenge
pickOld bones is the start of a new series by Preston and Child. It centres on two female leads who have made appearances in their other books. It mixes history, archaelogy and adventure. The story focuses on the Donner party and a lost treasure. The history has been tweaked a little but the story is overall satisfying. For fans of the duo this won't disappoint and should gain some new fans. Sure to lead a surge in attention of what really happened.
bailedIf cannibalism is your thing, this book is for you. 🤢
Evening plans. I couldn‘t have chosen a more aptly titled read, considering that I‘m dealing with a very painful back problem at the moment!
Seriously though, this latest from Preston and Child kicks off a Nora Kelly focused series and features FBI agent Corrie Swanson in a plot centered around the Donner Party! If I‘ve got to be laid up, at least I can be thoroughly entertained, right?
