Museum monster comes alive
Adriana H. - 3 years agoRelic has remained one of my top five favorite books even twenty-five years after I first discovered it. This book terrifies me, but I keep re-reading it every few years because it's such a good story. Museum visitors start to go missing, and a museum employee is found dead with part of his head missing. Detectives suspect a serial killer, but witnesses tell of a strong smell and the shuffling feet of a relic come to life. What could be creepier than a dusty museum exhibit coming to life and following you in the dark? This book has one of the best endings I've ever read.

One of the best books I've ever read
Adriana H. - 5 years 8 months agoI first read Relic almost twenty-five years ago and the memory of reading this thriller about murders in a museum's basement during my down time working in a mall basement will never leave me. The sound of footsteps in quiet spaces haunted me for years. Although the movie was later turned into a movie, the book is far better and includes the one-of-a-kind gentlemanly FBI agent Pendergast who was absent from the movie. Pendergast and museum employee Margo work to solve the murders while outrunning their own near encounters with the killer. Authors Preston and Child have an uncanny talent of inserting the reader into the echoing hallways with details like an untied shoe, a victim's haircut and the background story of a museum expedition in the Amazon gone horribly wrong. Pay close attention for all the clues dropped which answer not just why the murders are happening but by whom...or what.
