I usually really enjoy Chris Bohjlian. Midwives, Law of Similars, etc. were all quite good. The Secrets of Eden however, did not do it for me at all! I did finish reading it, but only to confirm that I had correctly guessed the ending. I had. This is perhaps one of my larger problems with the book--it was very predictable. Also, though, there was a new-agey character in it, who was really flaky and whom I could not bear reading about. In a nutshell, the book was about a murder-suicide and was told from the perspective of four people: the minister who had been involved with the family, the cop investigate the crime, the new-agey woman, and the daughter of the murder-suicide victims. The author tries to get you to a different truth with each character and this progresses the book. This was approach was done much better in Stone's Fall by Iain Pairs. I suggest picking up that book instead.
2/5 Stars.
