Fun read. Excellent pacing (hard to put down!) and the mystery / puzzle details mostly believable and follow-able. Some near-misses too convenient, some character actions confusing (come out of nowhere or change direction abruptly or missing good motivation). Revolves around Christian, Jewish, and Islamic history in Rome & Jerusalem. I was drooling over all the ancient archaeological sites. Enjoyed the ending, especially that of Mosè.

Picked this up at my library yesterday and can't wait to dive in! #LitsyAtoZ #letterL ✔ @BookishMarginalia

Born.A.Reader As an update, I read in between customers, the phone, and random away-from-my-desk tasks and am already 2/3 of the way through it. I sense another late night session to finish this can't-put-it-down selection! 📚😍👍🌒 8y

If you like "The Da Vinci Code" and Indiana Jones, you'll love this thriller, which Elie Wiesel called "a protest against historical revisionism"! I read this years ago, & it's stuck with me. A pleasingly intricate puzzle, the plot takes you to Jerusalem & Rome on an antiquities hunt, as Jonathan Marcus attempts to find a lost artifact searched for over the centuries. Exciting, enlightening, & fun! #PairWith: 2015 Illuminati Riparosso, room temp.

Lidia That sounds like my kind of book 🤓 8y

DeborahSmall I have thousands of books and I always know exactly what I have.....and what I need, would like to have.... I hide book purchases like other women hide shoes, though I hide those too 😇 Amazon in the UK are now delivering directly, mostly in the evenings. Tonight 3 books arrived, I had to pretend they were a gift for my son and not open it until I just got in from dinner 😂. Currently crammed into my bedroom bookcase- hidden in plain sight😊👍🏼 8y

Graciouswarriorprincess Added it! 👍😀 8y

Born.A.Reader This sounds like a book I would pick up with the intention of reading a few pages to a time while at work, and ravenously devouring it during a 10 hour shift, unable to pace myself. 8y
