I liked the mystery a lot while it was progressing but didn't like how it ended.

I finished the book and I’m still wondering why I bothered. The story was too gruesome (unnecessarily so, in my opinion) and too ridiculous. The killer was too unbelievable.

Kansas cornfields just got scarier in Still Life with Crows. Special Agent Pendergast shows up to investigate a series of grisly murders and, as usual, even stranger things begin to occur. This book introduces my favorite character of the series, an abused teen whose life will never be the same.

This is definitely my most favorite of the series (so far)! The environment was so perfectly creepy! Best of all, the story was believable and grounded to reality. This is a book that gave me actual chills in a very long long time. Just loved it.

Didn’t care for the vulgarity.
