I was considering eating this with 4āļø, but I didn't quite like the ending. It's interesting, a page-turner at times, mildly entertaining at other. Juliana Navarro is no Dan Brown (since they wrote similar fiction) but I'd say she's a worthy contestant.

An interesting religious thriller(one of my favorite genres) but the action does die down pretty quick.

I didnāt care for this book. I barely skimmed the last 80 pages.
The basic premise of the book is that these art crime detectives believe someone is trying to steal and/or destroy the Shroud of Turin after a string of strange happenings at the Cathedral where it is occasionally displayed. Thereās 3 groups of people hereā¦ a group that are trying to protect the Shroud, a group trying to āreclaimā it, and the art crime detectives.
It was very slow, and really not very interesting. She tries to generate some interest in the history of the Shroud with flashbacks to the time of Jesus and then of the Templar Knights, but it still isnāt a particularly interesting history. And the time changes were very abrupt.
This book is touted as an āinternational best-sellerā, but if thatās the case it was for solely one reason: The Da Vinci Code.
The only good thing about this book is that I can now return it to the library.
