Once upon a time, I think I thoroughly enjoyed this type of book and while the appeal of the mythical legendary Templars still somewhat prevail in me to read this, I wasn't particularly keen where this one took me. The hunt for this great lost secret of the Templars is Indiana-Jones-esque and rather fun especially near the end however the book lost me when it goes through the Christianity conspiracy. I felt that I've read that already...

This is the first book in the Cotton Malone series as well as the first book I've read by Steve Berry. The story was interesting, the puzzle intriguing and the characters (most anyway) likable.
The story centered on a hunt for the treasure of the Templar Order. While the clues were clever, the story was often slowed by too much theological discussion. But, overall the story was interesting and well written and I will be reading more in the Cotton Malone series.
Overall rating: 3.75 ...more
