This is the latest (currently) adventure of Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks from the DaVinci code and other films). If you liked the DaVinci code and Angels & Demos, then you’ll like this, because it’s the same book again!
Historical European city full of religious symbols and beautiful architecture, across which the hero can chase from landmark to landmark, against impossible odds? ✅
Beautiful woman with whom to share the adventure? Who in this case has fallen into a deep and enduring relationship with Langdon, ahem – about a week ago? ✅
Mysterious figure wearing religious, hooded robes, with a penchant for deadly violence? And a plain, frugal existence to which they retreat, to chastise themselves afterwards? ✅
A secret, global organisation covering up ill deeds and threatening the world, and only Langdon can stop them because he’s good at … running around and breaking codes? ✅
It’s easy to dismiss Dan Brown’s books for following a similar template, but what I can’t do is deny that this book (like the others) is a jolly good read and held my attention all the way through. And it’s great value at 671 pages long!
