Publisher's Summary:
Secrets of the Dead is a thriller and a time-slip novel. There are two stories running in tandem, sometimes reflecting each other.
In a villa on the coast of Montenegro, Abby Cormac witnesses the brutal murder of her lover, diplomat Michael Lascaris. The last thing she remembers is a gun pointed directly at her. She wakes to find herself at the centre of a diplomatic nightmare. Everyone wants an answer but no one wants to listen. Even her employers at the Foreign Office believe shes hiding something. She is completely alone.
Members Reviews:
same patterns as in "Book of Secrets" and "Lazarus Vault"
The author applies the same patterns as in "Book of Secrets" and "Lazarus Vault": Book consists of two parallel stories, one historical and one present.The historical story is narrated in first-person view character voice, the present one in third-person. Historical story introduces real personalities and real key events, but adds imaginary characters and events without distortion of given time spell. The present story is bit exaggerated crime fiction.
The historical takes place in the late Roman empire around 300 - 337 AD mostly in Constantinople (nowadays Istanbul). The present story is situated in former Yugoslavia countries.
The historical story made better impression on me than the present one, specially for rendering of atmosphere of late Roman empire. Some characters in the present story appear as unconvincing. The "resurrection" of key characters in both stories has clumsy effect. I did not like the last part of the book, but the finals of both stories are satisfying.
Book is very captivating. Alternation of two stories gives the reader the rest while maintaining the momentum.
