The Sacred Blood

It is difficult to write a review without dealing with the plot. The theme of the book is very interesting, considering the present (Jan 2024) turmoil in the middle east and the flaring of long held hatreds between Muslims, Jews and Christians. So I found the idea intriguing.

What I did find a bit off-putting was the skipping backwards and forwards between different sets of characters. This made the story feel, at times, like a film script, one of things I really disliked about the DaVinci code et al. I did not read the first book (Sacred Bones) but found there were enough references in this to make it not a problem. An interesting read.
