4.5⭐Another winner with the third Nora Kelly book! A highly entertaining and action-packed mystery surrounding an archaeological site from the 40s and UFOs!In Diablo Mesa Nora reluctantly accepts a new archaeological project. Digging The Roswell site where a UFO crashed in 1947 is not what she wants on her resume. Skip, her brother has already joined to assist Noam Bitan the artifact curator. The project is funded by a young billionaire and founder of Icarus Space Systems, Lucas Tappan. Shortly
Typical, excellent Preston & Child! Can't wait for more.
Nora is invited to head an excavation at the infamous Roswell site. Corrie becomes involved when a couple of dead bodies are the first things excavated …Obviously there's more to the story, but that's the gist of it. Do they find evidence of a crashed flying saucer and/or aliens? You'll just have to read and find out. I will say that the revelation of what's really going on, while somewhat late in coming, is very satisfying, and Preston & Child do not shy away from any of the implications.Yes, t...
“All those dark spots and smudges are what we laymen would call ‘buried stuff,’” said Tappan. “Stuff that your excavation will unearth.”“It could be anything,” Nora said. “Rocks, tin cans, trash.”Tappan tapped the charts with a finger. “Maybe so, but this proves one thing: The government lied.

Why would they lie?”Nora Kelly, archaeologist at the Santa Fe Archeological Institute, and FBI Special Agent Corrie Swanson are back toge...
The third Nora Kelly/Corrie Swanson adventure – and they are starting to accumulate quite a cast of other regulars as well! This is quickly becoming another “must-read-as-the-books-are-released” series from Preston & Child.I give this one 4.5 stars and it might be my favorite one in the series so far. Part of the reason for that is that, while the other two are good, I think it usually takes a few books for a series to get settled in. The story is very intriguing and mysterious. The plot is acti...
Nora Kelly gets roped into doing an excavation at the site of the Roswell crash. Corrie gets involved when 2 buried bodies are found. A secret cabal within the government wants to make sure nothing is found. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this 3rd Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson book. On the one hand, it's much more fast paced and exciting than the languid pace of the first two novels. On the other, it gets balls out crazy towards the end, turning into something that would fit better in a P...
Diablo Mesa is the third novel in the Nora Kelly series and I’ve definitely gained an appreciation for her character as well as the character of Corrie Swanson. Being a die hard fan of Aloyisus Pendergast, I was skeptical about having Nora and Corrie in the lead roles. But now that we’re into the third Kelly novel, my opinion has changed for the better.The characters in Diablo Mesa remain unchanged from the previous novels — with Nora, Skip and Corrie in the lead roles.
