Praise for the Book
Captivated, I began to read The Angel Scroll. The story unfolded prophetically in my imagination much like the artwork created by the character, Claire Lucas, appeared mysteriously out of character onto her coveted canvas. Penelope’s flawless flow of masterful writing continued just as the author's moment-to-moment visuals unfolded in each written frame transporting me into her pages. Mysterious and intriguing. A great read.”

Not since The Da Vinci Code has a novelist served up supernatural and mystical themes that are rooted in ancient beliefs and the historical record to serve as the beating heart of an action-packed spiritual thriller that has readers secretly hoping that miracles are real.”

“Holt delivers a ticking-clock thriller that pulls from Eastern spirituality, architecture, biblical scholarship and prophecy, Jewish mysticism, and the Druids and Celts while never straying from the heart-wrenching, very human experience of love and loss that brings its central characters to life. What makes the novel so refreshing is that it never strays from the heart-wrenching, very human experience of love and loss that brings its central characters to life. "
