The Last Testament - Sam Bourne

The_Last_Testament First, let me say, I am FINALLY done with this book. It wasn't a bad book, really, but I just didn't find myself wanting to read more than a few pages at a time. Maybe I'm just weary of this type of mystery/thriller - religious artifact, factions that want to hide or expose it, et cetera. In this case, the artifact is the last will of Abraham, discovered just as the Peace Talks are growing more difficult. So who "owns" Israel, and can Abraham's will actually solve the problem or just make it worse? Maggie Costello, a negotiator, is looking for the answer in an environment where she can't trust anyone, except the handsome Israeli. Ergh.
