A little too tell, not enough show.By Dean KutzlerWhile I never seek to discredit anyone's work, I felt that this book could use a little more showing and less telling. The writer, James Becker, over explained everything a little too much. He needed to leave a little to our imagination. It's really a pet peeve of mine when a writer goes into too much detail. It quite bogs down the story.I felt the premise or plot of the book was good, just needed a little less action and more intrigue, of course in my opinion. The writing, outside of the over the top detail, was not too bad. The only thing I fear, is that this is the latest book in the series. Normally I see this kind of thing in a first book of a writer, where over the next few books the writer improves. I'm not sure if this is the case here, being that I've only read the latest book. But I feel his writing needs some improvement.That being said, I would still recommend this book as a quick good read. It did bring to light, for me anyway, an interesting fact of history, biblical history, that I did not know.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Very intriqued won't put the book/pad downBy BlessedRU2A kind sales associate gave me a list of comparible authors to read after I finished reading all of Kathleen McGowen's incredibly touching and well-written books. Followed my gut and decided to try out James Becker and have been very impressed with the development of the characters and great combination of action and detective exploring the secrets of the ancient past.
