I received a free advance e-copy of this book and have chosen to write an honest and unbiased review. I have no personal affiliation with the author. I found this book to be a truly enjoyable read. A professor becomes involved in a series of murders as he deciphers ancient Hebrew manuscripts. This is an extremely well written historical thriller with a complicated plot that piques the reader’s interest, full of intrigue, adventure, danger, and murder. I found this book to be very informative as I learned more about the many conquests of Jerusalem and their outcomes. The author’s writing is very descriptive. This book is well worth the read especially for a lover of historical fiction. no reviews | add a review
A professor from Jerusalem, an expert in decoding ancient Hebrew manuscripts, is hired to carry out a mysterious task, one that sends him to three continents. He becomes entangled in a web of murders that leave him deeply puzzled. However, he quickly discovers that if he does not succeed in deciphering the enigmatic manuscripts, through his in-depth knowledge of Kabbalah, the lives of many people-including his own family-will be endangered. Interwoven within this exciting tale are curious passages reviewing the many conquests that the city of Jerusalem has endured during its long history. Their relevance and significance become clear only at the end of the book. The Kabbalistic Murder Code is an exciting and fast-paced thriller. Thanks to its unique structure and enriching subject matter (the secret wisdom of Kabbalah), you simply cannot put it down. The drama's surprising solution integrates Kabbalistic elements and weaves the whole to a magical picture, leaving the listener almost breathless. It has been translated to date into four languages.
