Tras toda una vida dedicada a los estudios bíblicos, Jonathan Lyons cree haber encontrado el más buscado y valioso de los pergaminos, una carta posiblemente escrita por Jesucristo y que desapareció de la Biblioteca Vaticana alrededor del año 1500. Poco después del hallazgo, Jonathan es encontrado muerto de un disparo en su estudio y a su mujer Kathleen, enferma de Alzheimer, escondida en un armario, desorientada y con el arma del crimen en la mano. ¿Mató Kathleen a su marido en un ataque de celos tal y como sospecha la policía? ¿O quizá la muerte de Jonathan esté ligada al pergamino desaparecido de nuevo? Con su madre imputada por el asesinato y ni rastro del manuscrito, Mariah Lyons luchará por descubrir qué se oculta detrás de la muerte de su padre.

A good and decent read. ( )

I enjoyed this book. It was reminiscent of "The DaVinci Code". Alvirah & Willy are back in this one and I love them but this is not a typical MHC book. If that's what you're looking for then this is not the book for you. ( )

I thought this was a good book. It was fun to read, interesting, and it kept me entertained all the way through. Sure it is formulaic, but I went into the book expecting that. Mary Higgins Clark has found a formula that works for her and she keeps using it. And people keep buying her books.

I liked the character Mariah. Her relationship with her parents is complicated, especially now that her father is dead and her mother is accused of murdering him. There are four of her father's colleagues that figure prominently in the story. I kept mixing them up and having to go back to figure out who was who. There is also her father's mistress to deal with. And Alvirah and Willy make a comeback. This was a very pleasant read. ( )

Meh... This one was kind of a waste of time. I found much of the dialogue and characters very stilted and 'stock'. ( )
