kathrynamonett 's review for:
The Dead Sea Cipher
by Elizabeth Peters
One of my (if not my absolute) favourite works by Elizabeth Peters.
It's much the same as all her others in terms of language and plot, so I'm not quite sure why this one stands out so much for me. Perhaps content or subject matter. It's far-fetched, a trademark of Peters, but it lacks the absurdity found in most of her others works, which I appreciated very much in this.
The blurb is wrong. She doesn't hear the cry for help in Jerusalem but in Beirut, where the story starts.
