Publisher's summary

From The New York Times best-selling author of Bird's-Eye View comes this twisting saga of a family changed forever by tragedy. When the husband and wife team of Walt and Jocelyn Gaines travelled to South America to contribute their archaeological expertise at a newly uncovered Mayan site, no one could have predicted what would happen next. Fallen Idols is a riveting novel of uncommon discoveries.

Mediocre-Predictable

The story was predictable, I guessed the ending, 1/2 way through.

It also moved very slowly. I felt that it could have been cut in 1/2.

I didn't find the protagonists to be sympathetic or their characters built up very well, on the other hand I just didn't see it moving quickly enough to be an action book.

To give it credit, I did listen to it until the end which I wouldn't have done if it was truly awful.

Great Characters

You really get a good feel for each of the characters in the story. The narrator does an excellent job. The story was much better than I was actually expecting. Buy it and you'll enjoy it. Lots of neat suprises.
