The Lost Tomb: And Other Real-Life Stories of Bones, Burials, and Murder by Douglas Preston
5.0
Douglas Preston is part of one of my favorite team authors, Preston & Child. So I always make it a point to read their individual endeavors. And The Lost Tomb did not disappoint.
The Lost Tomb contains a collection of thirteen different true stories. Some of them I was familiar with, but most of them were new to me. What I found interesting is that some of these true stories inspired Preston & Child’s popular fiction novels such as Dead Mountain and Riptide.
The collection of stories are varied and cover topics from pirate treasure, cannabalism in the Southwest, a newly discovered Egyptian tomb, as well as the Monster of Florence investigation. All of the stories provided a behind the scenes look into Preston’s journalistic pursuits. It was very interesting to say the least.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Lost Tomb and I look forward to reading more non-fiction books from the author. Five solid stars.
I received a DRC from Grand Central Publishing through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
