Eyes of the Virgin
The Prophecies
The eyes of the Virgin Mother gaze out of the piece of stained glass, their expression wise and protective. From time to time, the Virgin "blinks," and words appear in the glass-cryptic prophecies which the Vatican decodes and discloses, carefully.
The Cabal
There are those outside the Church who believe that Mary's words will lead them to untold wealth and earthly power. They have stolen the glass, but not the code needed to unlock the prophecies.
The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways
A bloody message scrawled by her dying sister-pitches computer programmer Kate Hudson into a storm of conspiracies, assassinations, and espionage. Suspected of murdering her husband and her sister, Kate finds herself hunted by the police and the cabal alike. Can Kate's few allies keep her safe from the unstoppable assassin on her trail long enough for her to find the stolen glass?
And what will she do with it once it is in her hands? Should anyone really know the future?

Trashy fun. Not the best book I've ever read, but it was a good ride. The premise to be honest is a little goofy, but that's part of the charm. It was well paced. I like that many chapters didn't end on a cliffhanger.
Oh lordy though, that romantic subplot. Shahrnaz is a actually a very cool character, and I hate that she was just there to redeem the big bad of most of the novel. Would have been nice to have some chapters from her POV. I honestly don't expect particularly deep or good romance subplots from thrillers. I prefer they not be there because they usually distract from the action.

I picked this book to read because it was in a section with the DaVinci Code and other books like it. The plot isn't as deep as the Code and was fairly easy to follow. Enjoyed it. I have always enjoyed a supernatural story and the power of the Virgin....
