Did I listen or read?: Library book
When did I finish?: April 18, 2013
When was the book published: 2012
Main Characters: Gabrial Allon, wife Chiara, Uzi Navot, Avi Shamron, Eli Lavon (archaelogist friend), the Pope, Luigi Donati (pope's secty,) Carlo Marchese, Massoud Rahimi
What happens? Claudia Andreatti is found dead, a possible suicide, in a chapel in Vatican City. Gabriel is asked by the pope's secty to investigate. Claudia is researching the provenance of antiquities owned by the church, and her murder exposes illegal trade in antiquities that leads to middle Eastern terrorists.
How long was this? 399 pages
Did I like this? Good story. A bit overblown in dramatics, and the level of detail about Jerusalem (and Vatican) history was educational, but not always interesting. Well done, though.
Overall grade: B+
