Summary
Relic, a Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child thriller that introduces FBI Special Agent Pendergast
Just days before a massive exhibition opens at the popular New York Museum of Natural History, visitors are being savagely murdered in the museum's dark hallways and secret rooms. Autopsies indicate that the killer cannot be human....
But the museum's directors plan to go ahead with a big bash to celebrate the new exhibition, in spite of the murders.
Museum researcher Margo Green must find out who - or what - is doing the killing. But can she do it in time to stop the massacre?
Critic reviews
"Wildly cool....Thrill hounds couldn't ask for a creepier environment....a thriller staged in the world's scariest building, with no room for the squeamish." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Intriguing- a really good listen
This was an old fashioned yarn, to be enjoyed when the moon is full and the wind is pushing at the windows! When the action got going it was just impossible to stop listening. Only 4 stars for the narrator though as he produced the worst Scottish accent I have ever heard!

what a brilliant yarn
Audible sale makes you try books , you normally wouldn't try. This was recommended to you because I loved the Lovecraft and Chutulu ecosystem. This recreates the dark, morbid horror with a brilliant twist

gripping and totally believable
I loved it, well rounded characters and a well paced storyline.
A few negatives would be the accents for the dialogues slip a bit at times but characters were easily recognisable so it didn't detract from my enjoyment. A longer pause between chapters and scenes would have helped to make it easy to follow as I wasn't always aware that the story had moved on.
A in all, great and I'll be listening to book 2

Gripping Plot and Gritty Characters
This is the first boom in the Pendergast series and introduces the listener to many of the characters used in future 'Pendergast' books. The plot twists and turns right from the beginning and leaves you wondering where it will go next. Gritty characters and great narration will get your pulse racing and biting your lip in anticipation of the next twist. Follow this up with Reliquary, then Preston's other 'Pendergast' books, they are all as gripping!

Brilliant. I loved this book
This book was brilliant, with a wondefully gripping story that really draws you in. This story is so good you will want to read Pendergast book 2. Sci fi, adventure, murder, suspense, what more can you ask for. The story is also well read and this book ensures hours of pleasure.

Loved the film, loved the book
I really enjoyed the film when it came out and the book has been on my list ever since. I finally got around to it with this audiobook version and I loved this too. The stories are pretty much the same, but different in a few areas due to length. I would certainly recommend checking out the audiobook and the film.

Great first book to a great series
Always enjoy listening to this book, and this series. I still enjoy the film even though Pendergast is missing from it.
