The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

When I read Angels & Demons this summer as a reading assignment for school I was absolutely amazed at the detail and research that had clearly gone into writing the book. So I knew I had to continue and read the Da Vinci Code. That one had after all had more publicity because of it's controversial topic.

While in Paris, Harvard professor Robert Langdon gets involuntarily involved in the search for one of histories most mysterious treasures when his name appears at the scene of a murder. With the help of cryptologist and granddaughter of the murder victim, Sophie Neveu, Langdon discovers the mystery and secrets of the Holy Grail and the secret society that protects it.

I loved the book! Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. Like Angels & Demons, this oozed detail and research which made it all that more convincing. I'll definitely be reading Dan Brown's other books. :)
