Really interesting collection. I guess most of these pieces were previously published in the New Yorker, but they were all new to me.

39/150 I find I enjoy Preston's fiction more than his non-fiction. I'll give this a pick, because it was interesting and made me want to read more about archeology and anthropology, but it's on the low end of the scale. 3 ⭐⭐⭐

For the most part, I am enjoying the conversational tone of the writing. These are true stories of mysteries. Some of these events I have heard of, others are new to me. The book is made up of various articles written for different publications, each chapter exploring a different topic. Douglas Preston is one of my favorite authors. I am amazed by what an interesting life he leads. This explores certain mysteries in greater detail.

Douglas Preston, the #1 bestselling author of The Lost City of the Monkey God , presents jaw-dropping true stories of Egyptian burial chambers, prehistoric ruins, pirate treasure, bizarre crimes, and more. The Lost Tomb brings together an astonishing and compelling collection of true stories about buried treasure, enigmatic murders, lost tombs, bizarre crimes, and other fascinating tales

EadieB This was a very interesting book to read. I especially liked the part about the Monster of Florence. I need to read more about the Monster as I found that aspect of the book most interesting. The last section entitled The Lost Tomb was a great read also about the Egyptian tombs. If you like real-life stories of Bones, Burials and Murders then you will love this book. I‘m looking forward to reading another book by Douglas Preston. 13mo
