Wanting a detour from the more classic hard-boiled Detective crime genre I asked a girl, that worked at a really good sci-fi book store in Stockholm’s Old Town, what to look for if I wanted to read horror. Without hesitating she went straight for this book, “Relic”. She told me she really liked Preston/Child and that every book in the FBI agent Pendergast series was great entertaining.
―I believed her. And I thank her!
I didn’t scare me the way I though it would, but it sure was fun reading this book. I kept turning the page from the very beginning. Part mystery, thriller and horror, this duo of writers seems to complement each other perfectly. The charismatic Pendergast and Sergeant Vincent D’Agosta, together with brilliant scientist Dr. Frock and Margo Green are such likeable characters that in spite that I am not used to the techno-thriller genre, I could digest the plot without compromising too much. In other words, I dove onto the story and was, at times, completely fascinated by it.
