The Patmos Deception
By Davis Bunn
Carey is ecstatic to be arriving in Greece for her new job
in forensic archeology at an antiquities institute. She never anticipated the taxi dropping her
off in front of the institute to find the gates closed and chained. She is rescued by Eleni, a former
administrative assistant at the institute, who gives Carey the terrible news –
the institute was closed for unclear reasons that relate to the failure of the
Greek economy. Now Carey is in Greece
with no job and very little money for a return trip. A call from an old friend asking for her help
investigating a string of antiquities robberies turns Carey’s bewilderment to
intrigue and danger. Can they find out
who is behind the thefts and if corrupt government officials might be involved?
I really enjoyed reading this book. There was a lot of great historical
information included that added to my interest in the novel. The characters were engaging and well
sketched. I found Carey’s enthusiasm for
faith and for her work to be a nice contrast to the slightly disengaged personality
of her investigative reporter friend, Nick.
The realities of a collapsed economy and how real people are affected
was very disheartening to read about.
Overall, I give this book an A: good Christian suspense novel to snuggle
up with.
I received a free copy of this book from Bethany House
Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
