review SPOILER ALERT! 2013-10-25 22:24

A short while ago I finished this book. It's called ''Still life with Crows'' by Preston&Child. The version of which you see the picture of right now is the Dutch one. It was the version I bought at the thriftstore. I like the cover of the Dutch version so I wanted to add that one. The title in Dutch is ''kraaienvoer''

 

Anyhow, where do I start? I thought this book was really awesome. It takes place in a small town in Kansas. Brutal murders are taking place and special agent Pendergast is investigating the case. 

 

I loved how the book slowly built up the tension. It started with the creepy murders and victims being hunted by the murderer, and it ended rather bloody and nerve-wrecking. 

 

What I also enjoyed very much was that the killer turned out to be non-human (kind of?) Which added even more creepyness to the story. 

 

This might be a bit of a short ''review'', but I absolutely loved the book, I enjoyed Pendergasts character and the scary moments. This book was a perfect October read, it sometimes gave me quite some creeps while I was reading in bed at night. 

 

So if you want a scary Thriller to read for Halloween I would certainly suggest this book! It is definitely not your average crime thriller.

Sooo I've been buying some books again. 

 

Two (the ones on the left and right ) are from the thrift store. I always love going there because you never know what you are going to find. The books are super cheap,they have a huge variety and it's only 10 minutes away from my house. I love browsing at that place. 

 

The left one is ''Autopsy'' by Howard Olsen. I looked the book up on goodreads when I got home, and the reviews weren't that positive..But the book is a ''medical thriller'' which seemed interesting to me so we'll see what I think about it. And I think the cover is kind of cool with the syringe. Which is also on the spine of the book. 

 

The one on the right is ''Still Life with Crows'' by Preston&Child. I was actually very happy to find this one because I've already been planning on reading a book of the Pendergast series. So it really felt like a lucky find and I'm looking forward to reading it.

 

The one in the middle is a new book which I've bought at my local bookstore. It is Alice in Wonderland in a pretty penguin classic edition. I've read Alice in Wonderland before when I was in high school. But I thought it would be nice to re-read it and to own the book. Since I borrowed it from a friend back when I read it for the first time.
