Click here to read the review of The Cana Mystery published in Cambridge Day in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Highlights include:


"[On Amazon], by far the most reviews [are] in the five-star category.  Readers like the 'believable adventure with true-to-life characters ...,' the 'fast-moving, almost movie-like, chase that keeps the reader turning pages' and 'engaging specifics and descriptors [that] amplify the storyline and draw the reader to identify with the angst, tension, and frustrations of the main characters as they try to survive a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Mostly unmentioned is the ripped-from-the-headlines feel Beckett gives The Cana Mystery by incorporating the March 13 anointment of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis, replacing Pope Benedict XVI after his resignation a month earlier.  From real-life news to publication was only about four months."


"Beckett obviously doesn't stint on his research ... whether it's about the Catholic Church, the machinery, vehicles and weaponry used to defend and attack the good guys, or the geography of countries such as Egypt, Malta, Rome, and Yemen -- or, for that matter, Cambridge."
