The moon has been colonized by the dregs of society from Earth, with the entire population controlled by an enigmatic megalomaniac. It's a murder mystery, complete with a psychotic android, with a sci-fi bent, and it all works, for the most part.
I did see the ending coming, but it did little to dull my enjoyment of the book. A quick read, perfect for a plane trip or vacation.

Connie Reid marries Clifford Chatterley, the scion of an aristocratic line. After a month's honeymoon, he is sent to war, and returns paralysed from the waist down, impotent. She becomes increasingly isolated after he husband becomes more and more frustrated with his disability. At which point she becomes acquainted with - wait for it - the groundskeeper/gardener. They have a tumultuous love affair as a result.
I think this was rather generic and typical of novels at the time such as Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Expect affairs and dramatic leading ladies.

(And the art is pretty sexy. Something for everyone, I think.)

Like the book, this takes place almost entirely in Rome, with Langdon (Tom Hanks) in a race against time and through the city to unravel the mysteries of the Illumunati during the period immediately after the death of the Pope but before the choosing/ordination of the next.
Also starring Ewan McGregor playing an Irish priest, I have to say that this - unfortunately - didn't really had my attention all that much (although I did have fun playing 'been there! seen that!)
