A review by aditurbo
The Day of Atonement, by David Liss

4.0

Not as great as the Benjamin Weaver novels but still very enjoyable. The plot is most suspenseful, though the revenge line is a little implausible at times. What I loved most was reading about the history of Portuguese inquisition and the famous Lisbon earthquake - it was simply fascinating. I felt deeply for people who had to live in constant mortal fear under such a totalitarian and cruel regime. Waiting for the next one by Liss.
