The Lost Years

Sadly, this is not one of Mary Higgins Clark's best efforts. The plot is formulaic, and the story line very predictable. While I liked the prologue about the disappearance in 1474 of the Joseph of Arimathea letter purportedly written by Christ before he died, it had little to do with the modern story line of its reappearance in modern times found by a biblical scholar. The many suspects, who were not very distinguishable or interesting, and the usual red herrings and coincidences, did little to hold the reader's interest. I truly could not wait to finish the book, just to be able to pick up something else to read that would be more interesting. A weak effort by a beloved author.
