Historical Fiction
The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer
To be honest, I have mixed emotions about this novel. It intertwines to historical mysteries: the Bible’s murder of Abel by his brother Cain, and the murder of Jerry Siegel’s (creator of Superman comic hero) father in 1932. The tie between the two is tenuous at best. But the individual mysteries themselves were an interesting read as they intertwined and unfolded throughout the novel. Surprising ending…could almost hear the music swelling as the credits rolled by…
