Review of 'Thunderhead' on 'Goodreads'

This book was recommended due to my love of a podcast called White Vault. I recently started delving into reading again after a long break and was excited to read something with exploration, suspense and some supernatural sprinkled in there. Thunderhead was everything I was looking for and even more. It was an absolute page turner for me and I had a hard time putting it down. It was a heavy read with a lot of information and detail provided, but I was not deterred and breezed right along. Highly recommend this book and am going to be looking into more of the Preston/Child books.
