It was not the best book of hers that I have read, but it was still a good book. It started slow, and had a predictable ending.

nice predictable Mary Higgins Clark book
It seemed to be trying to jump on the old documents bandwagon but there was no fresh take on it and was just used to provide a motive

Definitely not Mary’s best book. The bad guy was too obvious and the ending wasn’t suspenseful. Maybe I’ve ready too many of her books and I’m starting to look for the clues or maybe it just wasn’t her best. Either way, Mary Higgins Clark books will always be my guilty pleasure.

I always enjoy a good Mary Higgins Clark book. They are all predictable, because she is a formula writer, but her formula is killer (pun intended!). This is another Alvirah Meehan book and I have to say I get a kick out of her character.
I don't know about the lost letter written by Jesus Christ, but like I say, Clark's story telling ability is always fresh, fun, and CLEAN!

I thought this was going to be a mystery like Indiana Jones or the davinci code. It wasn't. It was pretty terrible

This is probably the most dull religious artifact book I've encountered, which is unfortunate because Clark usually is a strong writer. There was next to nothing in the book about the impact of the existence of a 2000 year old letter with the DNA of Jesus, making it seem rather pointless as far as McGuffins go. If it's going to be a simple murder mystery steeped in the hack motives of greed and jealousy, just go with an heirloom bit of priceless jewelry or something. Don't try to throw religious intrigue into the mix if you're not really going to sell it.
It may be notable that the plot device was suggested by her editor and initially dismissed. Perhaps Clark would be better served listening to her own instincts?

Definitely a page turner. Quite a few characters to keep a handle on.

Standard MHC fare. Ok listening for a car ride, but was predictable and we guessed who done it well before the ending.
