Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 10, 2012
Despite occasional indulgence in overly expository writing, this is a book that draws the reader into its core mystery with unique characters and plenty of suspenseful build-up. A thriller that takes on philosophical questions about life and death, An Almighty Conspiracy brings together several con men and women under unusual circumstances. The mystery surrounding them seems to involve a recipe for eternal life, but how will they get to the bottom of it all?What do these people have in common? Why do they decide to work together to solve this mystery? Who is the murderous person after the secret to eternal life, and why hasn't anyone else heard about this magical potion or recipe? For answers to these questions, you'll have to read the book to find out.As one reviewer has already noted, the ending is a bit problematic, dropping off quickly from an extremely left-field scene, and without much denouement to wrap things up. An epilogue has been added that hopes to clarify this ending, but it still doesn't do much to address the questions surrounding this mysterious recipe for eternal life that has everyone in a tizzy. Perhaps there is a sequel planned that will reveal more?
