| Not the page-turner that most of the Pendergast books are, but a great mystery/supernatural horror that really pulls you in. The Forgotten Room is the first time I've read Lincoln Child on his own. Great read! So, as I was listening to The Forgotten Room and realizing I wasn’t “loving it” like I usually do, I had to think on why that may be. (From the publisher.) Seeing sounds. You don't need an excuse to vote early.

... the gray eyes of a tall man with light brown hair, who, judging by his face, was perhaps forty years old. ===

The home where Olive worked is now a boarding house for young women.

A solo book from Lincoln Child and no co-writer this time. In a long-dormant wing of the estate, he uncovers an ingeniously hidden secret room, unknown and untouched for decades. The Forgotten Room A Novel (Book) : Child, Lincoln : Enigmalogist Jeremy Logan who specializes in investigating inexplicable phenomena probes strange happenings at the Newport, RI, mansion that houses the Symposikon think tank. It is a wonderful way to tell a story because each main character is as strong and as compelling as the other two are. My mind tends to wander, so there were times throughout the story that I zoned out and wasn't totally paying attention. Heavner isn’t exactly mollified when Tempe, aided by retired police detective Skinny Slidell and a host of experts, puts a name to the dead man.

The Forgotten Room is a unique story told in three different points of view and three different times of the ages.

The three women each has a "forbidden" romance that they must make a decision about. It's not bad.

It will appeal to the techie in one as well as the detective, and is a very satisfactory read!

Child has done much better work, and I'd recommend any of his other novels, so long as the cardboard creation of Logan is nowhere to be found on the flap. But it's what's in the center of the secret room that Jeremy Logan is fixated on and has him at a loss for answers. I thought the plot twists were clever and enjoyed the heartfelt romantic relationships because they so well written.

Take Harry Potter – Most everyone loves Harry Potter, but when you add Jim Dale (U.S. version) to the mix with his 5 gazillion voices and well…his work on Harry Potter was nothing short of fantastic.
