Shadow of Obsession - by Rebecca Neason

I was immediately grabbed by the opening pages of this book, and read eagerly as the adventure and intrigue unfolded with good old Duncan MacLeod. Then, at about the 1/3 mark, we dropped back into an historical romance drama taking place during the Visigoth invasion of Rome around 400AD. While this was interesting from that historical perspective, I admit to finding the romance angle ponderous and dull, but that's a failing of mine no doubt.

However, that said, the book redeemed itself in the final chapters with a return to modern times and to Duncan, and the pulling together of threads that were perhaps too carefully woven in the middle third of the read did end up being rewarding. I'm looking forward to reading other entries in the Highlander series, and should really catch up on my viewing of the show to add some additional context to the events!
