By Dan Brown

ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES' 50 BEST THRILLERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY DISCOVER THE #1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLING PHENOMENON, WITH MORE THAN 85 MILLION COPIES SOLD—AND DON’T MISS DAN BROWN’S NEW THRILLER, THE SECRET OF SECRETS! “Blockbuster perfection . . . a gleefully erudite suspense novel.” —The New York Times “A pulse-quickening, brain-teasing adventure.” —People While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion, a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.

Outstanding. I love it when a fiction book helps me learn about history and flips 'assumed' history on its head.

Objectifies women. Separates sex from true love. Character motivations were inconsistent and uninspired. Stakes too low. Answer to mystery was not unsatisfying. Disappointing.

Riveting start to finish

I could read this book over and over and still absorb something new. I am amazed at the deep historical plunge this book takes and how deeply entrenched one can become as they absorb each new fact. Recommend highly.
