Title: An interesting premise unfulfilled
Product review: This book starts slowly but, given the subject and the characters, this is forgivable. The best comes in the middle of the book where the mystery begins to unfold and the characters address the riddles. It is at this point that this book most closely resembles The DaVinci Code.However, the ending ruins all of the gains of the rest of the book. The authors resort to a cliche so well-worn that I am surprised the editors accepted it. In a book with a different tone, it may have gone over well. But in this book it falls flat and takes you completely out of the narrative. The characters' final actions make little sense given the cursory treatment of their motivations in the preceding portion.Ultimately the clever mystery can not overcome the ending.
