4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun, and a great start for an engaging protagonist,
By Noelle (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Moses Riddle (Treasure Hunter (Bimini Road Publishing)) (Paperback)
Unlike the other reviewers here, I can't tell you that this book is perfect. But it's got a lot of potential. Kingsbury has gone to great lengths to craft a well-researched and fun book with a solid hero and interesting plot. The plot in particular is interesting enough for me to recommend this book to folks who liked the Da Vinci Code - this book's storyline is also based on the Bible, but puts an archaeological spin on a couple of different cultures involved in a key Old Testament riddle. I liked that Kingsbury had done his homework.
Some of the personalities are a bit cliched - handsome blond archaeologist hero, stunning tanned heroine of questionable motivation, big ugly government baddie out to get them - but Kingsbury puts enough twists and turns in their path to keep you guessing as to who's doing what, and why. The locales his characters go to are fun and interesting, and I think it's no big stretch to say that the author is a fan of PJ Clarks. And for that I have to applaud him.
