Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
A level-headed scientist at The Lux, an elite think-tank, begins to show signs of distress and strange behaviour. One day he comes completely unhinged, injuring his assistant and getting himself locked into a library by security for his own protection. Bent on destruction, he manages to kill himself in a thoroughly horrific way. Enter Jeremy Logan, the world’s only enigmalogist, and an alumni who was invited to leave the Lux some years before.

This is the fourth in the Logan series, which lives in the shadow of the Agent Pendergast series that Child writes along with Douglas Preston. I don’t think it’s quite on the same level, but it doesn’t miss by much. Child is an exquisite writer who doesn’t describe a scene so much as paint it, and then brings it fully to life along with his characters. The Lux, an old and slightly creaky mansion, takes on a disturbingly eerie aura. It’s supposedly haunted, and you’re left to wonder if it really is, or if there’s another explanation for the strange events that continue to unfold. Nothing is predictable, and you’re kept perched on the edge of your seat for the entire ride. The book starts out at Loch Ness, where Logan was hired to debunk the Nessie theory, and provides an enchantingly entertaining take on that enduring old myth.

You can read this without having read the other Logan entries, but it’s really better to start at the beginning. That said, this is easily the best entry in the series, and highly recommended. My only criticism is that I read Child’s books much faster than he writes them, and I really wish he’d crank up the production just a tad!

I’ve been a fan of Child’s novels with Douglas Preston for a number of years now. And as such, I also continue to follow their independent books like this one as well, though I must admit that I never enjoy these solo works as much as the books that they work on together - they always seem to lack something...

In Child’s latest enigmalogist hero, Dr. Jeremy Logan, who has appeared in some of Child’s earlier books, though there isn’t really enough of an overlap to necessitate reading these in order, first addresses a crowd guaranteeing there isn’t a Nessie after all. And moments later, the book makes me wish that it had opened a few weeks earlier when Logan reveals that there is a Loch Ness monster after all... Instead, Logan returns to his roots to investigate the odd suicide of a researched at a private institute called the Lux that Logan himself had been asked to leave years earlier.

With short chapters and methodical clues, this is a fast read that is also entertaining. Cliffhangers keep the pages turning, though it does take some time for the reader to feel like much genuine progress has been made. And surprisingly, this is a more straightforward thriller than some of Logan’s earlier appearances. And there isn’t any off-the-rails stuff either, which keeps this even more exciting and fast-paced as the plot picks up. Child nicely maintains the tension throughout which makes this one of the strongest yet of Child’s solo novels!

The success of the writing duo of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child always gives me hope that books written by just one of the pair will equal the output of the team. This hasn't happened yet, and certainly not in this lackluster tale. Professor Jeremy Logan ought to be a fascinating person, with somewhat paranormal abilities (as an empath) and a unique profession as an enigmalogist. His business is to explore mysteries and get to the bottom of them. Are they scientifically provable, supernatural, a hoax or something else? Half of this book consists of rapturous descriptions of an old house, whose original wainscoting is drooled over as much as the modern table linens. The author has a knack for description, but his enthusiasm is at the cost of, oh, character development, for instance. There isn't any. What you see on the first page is exactly what you see on the last, and most of the characters are so one-dimensional that they might have slid onto the page from an alternate universe. There is hardly any action until the last third of the book, when suddenly things start hopping...just in time to wake up the drowsy reader who was nodding off while reading about yet another blueprint or column or whatever. I'm annoyed because I'm still going to buy his next book and hope that he improves. But, if you haven't sampled a novel by Lincoln Child yet, be warned...much architectural detail and very little plot lies ahead for you.

I have been a fan of Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston since I read RELIC, the first book in the Pendergast series. That particular series has provided me with hours of thoughtful entertainment, although like any other longer series of novels, it has had its shares of ups and downs. My favorite still remains THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, coincidentally another novel that features a dark and gloomy old mansion. I have also read and enjoyed several of Lincoln Child's individual efforts but remain convinced that their joint efforts in the Pendergast series showcases their best work.

When you first see the cover of THE FORGOTTEN ROOM, it reminds you of the setting of an abandoned insane asylum sitting on a hill, surrounded by the clouds and lightning of a severe storm, and overlooking dark and furious waters. And yes, there is a light on in one of the rooms. So I expected an old fashioned 'ghost story' set in an old haunted mansion, massive in size, with creepy rooms and dark furnishings, populated with shifting shadows and whispers in the dark. It appeared obvious that 'evil' had taken up residence here.

What I discovered instead was quite a different story of mystery and madness based on something unexpected and unusual, an intricate story on its own merits, but deviating substantially from what I expected. Perhaps my expectations were too high (given the author's previous works), but the teaser (and the book cover) promised something better. Mr. Child's writing style remains clear and concise but this particular story isn't as engaging as those in his prior novels.
