A brilliant way to mix investigation, romance and adventurer
This seems like a promising book especially with that kind of rating
I’ll be sure to add it to my book shelf

It seems like the antagonist was well-developed, thus the author did his job. I like being surprised about who the bad guy is. Sometimes, figuring it out early makes the story predictable. Thanks for the review!

First thought on the title is that it's a religious book but your review told me otherwise. A mystery thriller. That's definitely some book I might read. Congratulations on #BOTD

I love art in all shapes and sizes, be they historic artifacts, paintings, composed pieces or dance performances. As I'm not really a fan of romance, I like the fact that this particular aspect of the story isn't completely in the focus. Also, the setting and premise of the this book, like the secret to immortality, remind me heavily of The Epic of Gilgamesh, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading about in school.
Thank you for this inightful review.

This reminds me of that film starred by Nicholas Cage. I liked the concept of ancient history merged with the present time. It's adventure packed for sure. I liked to learn from your review that the author did an amazing job making each character distinctive.

"Key to Eternity" by Mallory M. O'Connor - writes an intriguing mystery story based on the ransacking of the Baghdad Museum in 2003 by US Invaders. The central theme is the sear\ch for artifacts that were stolen during the plundering and which contain the secret of immortality. Epiphany has visions of the artifacts and links up with Maro, a younger man, and the FBI agent who has conducted the search for 15 years. Thanks for an informative review.

It seems to me that art history and the supernatural may go together to make for an interesting read. Thank you for your review.

Excellent review! Bravo!!

Today's BOTD is a mystery thriller with paranormal elements, as well as romance and suspense. This one isn't for me, but fans of art history and stories of stolen artifacts will thoroughly enjoy this standalone second in series. Thank you again for the outstanding review and keep up the great work!!

I am surprised that you gave the book a perfect rating as the flaws you mentioned seem pretty significant. However, the premise is very original, so I am thinking of giving it a shot (despite the main character's name being Epiphany). Thanks for a great review.

Like you, I've wondered many things about stolen art. For example, who buys it? What's the mental profile of someone who clearly has an artistic sensibility but also criminal tendencies? It seems like this book could address my doubts, although the slow pace makes me hesitate.
Thank you for your thorough review!

Am not a fan of mystery thriller. The book has brought out art in a very unique way. In the beginning I thought the book was going to be all about some religion theories, but it turns out to be of ancient artifacts. I love the fact that other aspects of life such as romance ,supernatural and espionage have been incorporated. Nice review.
