Title: Had to skim over whole chapters to keep my interest!
Review: This book is neither the rattling good read that the Da Vinci code is, nor the cerebral intelligent historical work of Umberto Eco and falls somewhere in between.Not keen on these novels that alternate chapters in the past and present. The plot held great initial promise but the author isn't successful in tying both plot lines together. I ended up skim reading or just omitting chapter after tiresome chapter just to get the thing finished - as the historic plot wasn't going anywhere, I concentrated on the simpler modern day murder mystery plot. Would be interested in other works by this author though.
