The Cana Mystery | David Beckett

2 posts | 1 read

In this gripping mystery adventure, Ava, an MIT graduate student and expert in ancient languages, is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call from an old friend, Paul, with a baffling request: Could she fly to Yemen immediately? He's found something important and needs her help. Paul's subsequent coded e-mail alludes to what he and his boss, Simon Demaj, have found: the lost jars of Cana-the very jars that Jesus used at the wedding at Cana-and a puzzle to be solved. Are the jars authentic, and is there a prophecy somehow hidden in them? At the same time a shocking global announcement is made: ." . . Pope Benedict XVI announced that he will resign for the good of the church . . ." Is there a connection? Ava and Paul set off on a deadly global adventure to Yemen, Egypt, Malta, and Rome searching for answers. Every step of the way they're chased by Paul's unscrupulous billionaire boss, a drug lord, and corrupt officials. A thrilling mix of historical and contemporary intrigue, The Cana Mystery keeps the reader wanting to know more.

The Cana Mystery | David Beckett

This just fell flat for me. I was never emotionally involved with the story, and I didn't really care much about the characters. It all just seemed too contrived and forced. The chapters set in the past also seemed disjointed and did nothing to further the plot for me. Overall, just a disappointing book.
