This book had so many twists and turns keeping me fully engrossed. I found myself initially wanting the group not to be found out until the darker hidden corners were slowly revealed. An incredibly inventive ending that I couldn't possibly have seen coming! My only 'criticism' would be that the greek and latin references went straight over my head.
