The book follows Maro as he tries to track down historic artefacts. It's fascinating that this book involves the themes of art, psychic powers, detective work and romance.

Nice review! Arts, romance, supernatural, espionage. Wow! The title alone is eye-catching “Key to Eternity”. It is about clay tablets holding the secrets to immortality. My mind immediately wandered off to the picture of Abraham holding the tablets. Yet, the setting is different. It is Mesopotamia and of a place with magic. From the review there is romance. How would it be if your partner is an old or an older woman with magical powers? Espionage. It is deemed slow in action. Does not matter. It is a place where mystery and magic exist.

A set of seven Mesopotamian clay tablet said to hold the secret to immortality is quite fascinating. I really love mystery thrillers and this book seems like an entertaining read, so am definitely giving it a try. Am also glad to know that this book was professionally edited. Thanks for the wonderful review.

This sounds like an interesting story that deals with stolen art and peeks into the underground art society. Thank you for the wonderful review!
The disappearance of the word "I am" is indeed the highest happiness! :)

This book is filled with twists and would be greater if acted to a movie. Congratulations on being the book of the day.

I have been curious about how stolen art gets into circulation too. I'm happy to learn from your review that this book can satisfy my curiosity.

The mix of fact and fiction in this novel was well-done like how the author was able to make an interesting twist on the pillaging of the Baghdad museum which involves ancient clay tablets and immortality. Congrats on BOTD!
