The Cana Mystery was just reviewed in MENSA Magazine:

"Recommended: The Cana Mystery

In Dan Brown's most recent novel, 'brilliant' characters lecture us about overpopulation, ozone depletion, global warming, and other perils.  Sadly, the dialogue suggests Brown may not understand the very problems he proposes to resolve.  By contrast, David Beckett's new thriller, The Cana Mystery (Tuscany Press, 2013), approaches these topics from a more informed and more historically-accurate perspective.  The book will appeal to Mensan readers who enjoy Brown's potboilers but dislike his infamous, overblown style.  Less purple than Brown's, Beckett's prose has drawn acclaim, winning the 1997 Willie Morris Award for Editorial Excellence.  The Cana Mystery's plot incorporates the Boston terror attacks, Pope Benedict's resignation, Pope Francis's election, the NSA, the Occupy movement, and the downfall of Prime Minister Berlusconi.  Its narrative is spiced with anagrams, riddles, codes, and literary/cultural allusions; Beckett's film library clearly includes The Godfather, Casablanca, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc.  Meanwhile, readers more inclined to enjoy Shakespeare or even Goethe might spot the occasional connection."
