by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child What starts off as an unusual delivery of brown minerals to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City ends up being a story full of suspense, horror, and mystery. The Book of the Dead focuses on a FBI agent who is wrongfully imprisoned, his intelligent psychotic brother, a woman with a mysterious past, and an ancient Egyptian tomb that is about to be reopened. Each character plays an intriguing role with each other that terrifies several people in New York City and each other. Mr. Preston and Mr. Child are able to create interesting characters, give them their own tragedies and stories, have them interlock with each other, and still make sense. The setting of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City was a great background for The Book of the Dead. Readers who have visited the museum can imagine where exactly the ancient Egyptian tomb was located and what happens in the tomb during the grand re-opening. The ending, however, seemed to be a little long and tedious but still with lots of action and suspense. One of the better horror/suspense novels that this reader has read in a long time.
