Against the background of a Christian presence at Auchwitz, Carroll traces a complex relationship between Christians, Jews and Antisemitism in 2000 years of Christian history. A personalized and idiosyncratic history rather than a diadactic one.

I am always looking for new authors for mysteries or thrillers. I just discovered Coben, and found this book very engaging and unexpected.
Grace Lawson picks up a newly developed set of family photos, only to discover a mysterious photo which doesn't seem to belong..until she begins to discover that it is a picture of her husband from many years ago. The plot which develops is not the usual predictable story line.
