Kinda lame
Same book, different name
I didn't hate it. The big reveal was a huge letdown for me, and IMHO, would not have caused a huge crisis for religious leaders. The killer was fairly obvious to me, also. That was super disappointing for me because I love a good twist, but this one didn't have it. Also, the whole mess with the royal family (aside from the touching scene at the end with the bishop) seemed kind of messy and superfluous.
Honestly, I haven't loved these last 2 Dan Brown books. The trivia and puzzles are great, and I love "accidentally" learning new things, but perhaps the same old, same old formula is wearing on me.

A Great Storyline
For two games converted from DS format to PlayStation 4 it is a very good game series that leaves you wanting the third to come out right now. I played the two games in a span of two weeks and loved it. The multiple endings just are so great.

Very original drama, where each episode sees one of the strange tattoos on "Jane Doe"'s body reveal an imminent terror threat, or unravel corporate greed. The effort put into the tattoo puzzles was excellent and felt like they were solved with genuine effort. The emerging underlying plot and identifying who Jane might really be added an extra dimension.

The annual Christmas pageant in town is going to be quite the production. Then the threatening puzzles start appearing and one of the Marys in the living nativity is killed. Another fun mystery fans will love.
