As a Dan Brown fan who had read all of Dan Brown's books, I was desperate to find another author who wrote in the same style and on the same type of topics. I was not disappointed by Steve Berry. This book grabbed my attention very quickly and I finished it in just under a week because I could not put it down. The characters were developed well and very easy to understand. The subject matter, Marian visions and the future of the Catholic church, were also very well described, even for someone who knows nothing about Catholicism or Marian visions. The plot follows a representative from the Vatican as he searches for answers to the mystery surrounding the final of 3 secrets revealed to a young girl in Portugal years before. This leads to upheaval in the bishop's life and in the Holy See. A wonderfully taut thriller considering the subject matter. This could have been very dull, but Berry has written a titillating thriller. All in all, this was by far one of my favorite reads. EXCELLENT! I will be buying and reading all of Steve Berry's books.Read full review
This was just as enjoyable as THE DA VINCI CODE. The plot was believable and moved along quickly and kept my attention. I appreciated that I was taken back in time to the origins of the plot and then moved into the present to have it worked out. The main character is flawed and still a hero to root for. The best part of the audiobook was that the reader pronounced words, names and places in Italian, Spanish, Portugese, Latin and Bosnian that I would've really struggled with. A pleasure to listen to this wonderful and exciting audiobook!
Book was well written and kept my interest from page one. I recommend the book and the seller to all Audo book readers. Seller fulfilled details of his offer completely.
I listen to a lot of audio books in the car. This one did not hold my attention very well. The premise is far-fetched - maybe trying to compete with the DaVinci Code. Plot confusing.
