Search - Altar of Bones

This is a good read, grabs you from the start to the end. Lots of tense action! I must admit that the ending left me with a question, but it didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the book.

On the back cover, it states that Philip Carter is a "pseudonym for an internationally renowned author". Apparently not one with much experience as an author. This book was not bad, but it could have been better. It is obvious that Mr Carter wrote this with a movie in mind because he spends a good portion of the book describing chases and violent fights that would take up no time in a movie, but while reading it can get old. The book has an interesting twist on an old conspiracy theory (can't go into detail or I would ruin the book for other readers) and the style is reminiscent of Dan Brown's books without so much information. Too bad the editor did not suggest some of the chases be trimmed down (or downright eliminated) to make this a tighter book.

Action-packed whodunit. A kind of mix of James Bond and Indiana Jones.
