Interesting read. The plot divides into two mirroring veins that intertwine real historical persons with fictional characters. Entertaining, but all in all not quite believable, especially toward the end. Oddly enough, I can see this being a better movie than the book that it is.

Another great mystery by this author. I have to see if she's written others! I really enjoy the realistic portrayal of people's various spiritual outlooks on life without being proselytizing.
0 = I disliked the book, and do not recommend it at all. 1 = The book was just tolerable enough to finish. 2 = The book was okay but nothing to write home about. 3 = The book was fair enough to read at least once. 4 = The book was enjoyable and definitely worth reading. 5 = I thoroughly enjoyed the book or it had a lasting impact.
