Summary
Is there one last undiscovered great truth?
A moment zero, a place in time that links all cultures and creeds?
A revelation that will unite us all and change the way we see history forever?
Brilliant but burnt-out English lawyer Ella Blake accepts an apparently simple brief: Investigate the mysterious disappearance of an African American polymath from his room at Cambridge University. The inquiry quickly becomes the greatest challenge of her life - solving the mystery of Genesis.
Facing danger at every turn, can Ella find the answers to the riddles and clues left by the missing genius?
Reunited with her estranged daughter, the inquiry sends them on a quest across the world and through ancient texts.
What is the secret that binds us all?
Who is behind the dark forces that will stop at nothing to prevent the world from knowing the truth?
The Genesis Inquiry is an epic and gripping thriller by the brilliant Olly Jarvis that asks a key question - what can our shared past tell us about humanity’s future?

Quite gripping, poor production
There is one misplaced chapter and several unedited narration errors around chapters 60-70. This is sloppy and should be corrected before any more copies are sold.
The narrator is good, with a variety of voices and he generally adds to the experience.
The story flounders a bit after the reveal and heads into road trip territory. The concept isn't believable and lacks a compelling reason to suspend disbelief.
Overall, the writing is technically good, the main characters are well rounded and even peripheral characters are relatively strong. I particularly liked the main protagonist, whose journey from broken ex-lawyer to driven world saviour is well plotted.
Despite its drawbacks it is nevertheless a gripping story.

Good story
Apart from some narrator gaffs and a chapter in the wrong place, an excellent read. The unedited narrator in one part made me chuckle! Best get that fixed!! 😊
