The storyline centers around prized artifacts that are disappearing. Nick and Carey are childhood friends that team up together to find and prevent the artifacts from being stolen and put into the wrong hands. I figured with the title that the artifacts had to deal with the apostle John's writing, but never felt this was addressed within the storyline. The third character, Dimitri, runs a family fishing boat but is also involved in some unethical dealings which added another level of mystery.
This book was very hard for me to stick with. I kept waiting for some suspense to keep me interested and found it very hard to pick up and keep reading. I was tempted to skip to the end to get the book finished, but kept at it. I learned a lot of Greeces' culture, sites and problems with the country they are experiencing. The character development was ok, but I felt the author was more interested in what the country looked like that developing the plot. The ending was another problem with me. I was left with the plot and characters up in the air. Must be another story, because this one never ended. It will be hard for me to read another one just to see how this really ends.
I don't like to give negative reviews, so this one took me a while to put my thoughts together and write this review. Thanks go to Bethany House Publishers for this free book just for my honest opinion.
