I found that the storyline jumped all over the place, featured chapters of text that weren’t really needed for the main storyline, and disappeared on tangents.
I did however enjoy the further development of the characters featured, how they are entangled with one another, and discovering some depth in them and their relationships.
Overall a disappointing and somewhat predictable read for me.

The 'he' mentioned above is one of the main characters DS Noah Jake, the 'she' being his partner/colleague DI Marnie Rome. Both characters are deep, well-thought out with difficult and troubling back stories.
The story is very realistic and references true life events that have affected the London. It felt very real and I can see where Sarah Hilary (author) gets her inspiration from.
As with most crime novels, it is fast paced with twists and turns throughout. The characters/suspects/witness are all very clever and different with a key input to the story.
I would recommend this book.

David McK (3906 KP) rated The Secret of Secrets (Robert Langdon #6) in Books

By coincidence, that was also the prior book in his Robert Langdon series that consists of , in order: Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inferno, Origin and now this, all following Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon who seems to have an amazing and uncanny knack for finding himself caught up in the throes of various mysteries!
This time, the main setting is Prague (been there), with the novel - in particular - focusing heavily on the legend of the Golem of said city, and with it positing the question "where does the conscious mind reside? In the body, or somewhere outside?"
If you've read any of the previous novels, you'll know what to expect of this!

Which might explain why I was initially a bit confused about certain elements in Harry's world (He has another apprentice now? And a castle?), which - I presume - happen in that entry.
Having said that, once I got past the initial confusion I found myself thoroughly enjoying my return to Harry's Chicago; thoroughly enjoying the more 'low stakes' (well, as low as it gets for Harry, maybe) of the story that I feel was lost in the last couple of full-length novels I read.
Sure, world-ending apocalypses have their place and all, but when they are stopped time and time again ...
