A book in the historical mystery impinging on the present mode though this
has a present in the past as well. Linking Lucca and London and holy relics,
it should have been better than it was. The references back to the past may
have been better placed together as a preamble rather than being scattere.
Admittedly, I prefer straightforward narrative as do most but this ia certainly
a book that would have been better had it gone from then to the now of the
book in a single line. I also found that some of the main characters were a
little unbelievable.
