THE BIBLE OF CLAY
Seal Books (2009)
This was a painful book to get through. Sad ... because the storyline was an interesting one ... archaeological treasure in Iraq ... threat of war ... Nazi war criminals ... but the author was never able to bring a spark of life or reality to her words.
Even worse were the chapters devoted to Shamus ... Abraham's scribe ... yup, you guessed it ... Abraham from the Bible.
Truth be told, it's like the author had the bare bones outline of 4 different stories ... each not enough to flesh out a whole novel ... so she threw them all together into this unfulfilling goulash.
I'm glad it's finally over ...
