The Secret Supper

Because we've been keeping Lediya's mom company at the hospital for an extended amount of time the past couple of days (9 hours yesterday, 8 hours today), I was able to fly through Javier Sierra's international bestseller The Secret Supper. Yes, it's another historical-religious novel, but I just can't seem to get away from these types of books because I enjoy the hidden codes and messages the protagonists in these types of books always try to decipher.

Set in Milan in the late fifteenth century, Leonardo's masterpiece The Last Supper overflows with religious intrigue. Pope Alexander IV is intent on executing Da Vinci when he realizes that the painting of the last supper contains a blasphemous message in the form of clues. It is the job of a Dominican Monk, Father Agostino Leyre, to break the master's code.

And no, this book is not a clone of the Da Vinci Code. Fast read and worthwhile for fans of religion-themed thrillers.
