Lots of repetition. Keeps reminding us what was in the tomb, the names on the ossuaries, the Discovery Channel Documentary. I get it. I remember when you told me three pages ago. And three pages before that. But, it is complex stuff, so I'll be a little forgiving. It's just slowing the pace a bit.

Really interesting story, though sometimes reads like a Holy Land Travelogue.

Interesting so far. Not my usual genre. Christian historical themes (finding lost tomb of Jesus, Jesus buried with Mary Magdelene?) but doesn't seem like a Christian book. Like, I wouldn't call Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade "Christian Cinema." It's keeping my attention that I've googled the Talpiot Tombs to find out more. I like the main character, Mara, divorced chick lit writer looking to get out of a rut.
