The plot, which is based on missing artifacts from the museum, during the American occupation of Iraq, and then continues in connection with the underground antiques trade, promises top-notch enjoyment.

Thank you for your honest review. It explains the plot very well. I like how the story has some mysteries to it. Stolen artifacts and special abilities just make this book seem interesting. Awesome review!

Key to Eternity ~ is a Mystery Thriller Historical Book and a mixture of ancient artifacts, art history, romance, espionage, and supernatural elements.


It tells further where the subject of artifacts were stolen from the Baghdad Museum during the 2003 American invasion. Adventurous. Well-written.


~ Thanks to the Author

If Epiphany could effortlessly tap into her spiritual powers when the need arose, it could be she had gained some mastery in the art.
The book title and review summary appears to be captivating. I believe it will be a good read.

As an enthusiastic lover of art, much of what this book has to offer fascinates me. I'm just not sure what to think of the psychic/spiritualism aspects of the book. It looks like an interesting mystery though and I do believe I'll add it to my reading list. Thank you for such an informative review!

The topic sounds really interesting, but I am afraid that the slow pace and lack of tension would put me off.

I am not the artistic person, but this book has very interesting characters. The story is unique, too. I like that the author mixed history and present in the story.

Pace and tension are very important in maintaining a readwr's attention from the beginning to the end of a novel and it is disappointing, when an author fails to consider that. Thanks for the honest review.

I'm not one to pick up a book in the middle of a series, so for now, I'll be skipping this one. But the topic is certainly one of interest and I may be inclined to check out the first novel in the series to get the ball rolling. Congrats to Ms. O'Connor on receiving BOTD honors.

I’m interested in a mystery thriller, and adding art history to the context makes it even more appealing. It’s good to know that it’s possible to read the second book, even though I’d like to have a try at the first one as well.

I got so excited having read the blurb on Amazon. The book seems pretty interesting with Epiphany's psychic visions, her quest for the ancient tablet which includes the key to immortality, her investigation of the thefts of precious artifacts. My enthusiasm got a little dampened when I read in the review that it is not so action packed as I invisioned but I will still give the book a try. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I really liked the unique concept of art woven in a mystery thriller. I am not into reading such stories but with mystery and action it seems interesting to me. Great review.
