Diablo Mesa (Nora Kelly #3) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

 Another winner in this thriller series featuring archeologist Nora Kelly.


This is the third installment and I feel it best to read them all, in order, to understand the background of the characters and the previous cases. This particular one takes the reader on a wild ride as Nora accepts a job to excavate an area that may hold a secret linked to the Roswell Incident, more specifically alien technology in the form of a UFO. An object crashed on property that is out in the desert and a tech billionaire hires her and her brother, Skip, to join a team of scientists there in hopes of finally putting all the conspiracy theories and coverup rumors to rest with a huge discovery.


What a crazy tale firmly in the “we are not alone in the universe” camp, but quite interesting even if very bloody. The narrative includes multiple points of view from a variety of characters and often hits the incredulity scale but definitely entertaining and fast-paced. I always enjoy books by this author duo and they always surprise me. I like both Nora Kelly and FBI colleague, Special Agent Corrie Swanson. The setting of New Mexico is well described and I always like all the details. I definitely learn something new in each book and look forward to their next.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend. 

This is the third in a series that should be read in order.

Genre - thriller, UFO, archeology
