About this listen
Book 3 in the series. In an ancient tunnel underneath New York City a charnel house is discovered. Inside are 36 bodies all murdered and mutilated more than a century ago. While FBI agent Pendergast investigates the old crimes, identical killings start to terrorize the city. The nightmare has begun. Again.

A little bit formulaic
The most negative thing I have to say about the book is that the “Pendergast smart, ranking police officer stupid and selfish” formula has definitely gotten old. There must be some competent individuals in the NYPD that wouldn’t always work against Pendergast.
That said the plot line was interesting and kept me wanting to know how it would all turn out. Plus some of the strange bits of historical trivia were interesting. I know they are representative rather than actual historical but the “Cabinets of Curiosities” were an interesting attraction at one point in time.
There is a bit of a production problem where a sentence or two are repeated and that annoyed me but not enough to interfere with the storyline.
