Our view
The fourth Robert Langdon thriller delivers what the series is known for: a conspiracy, a race against time and stakes that could hardly be higher. Some readers find it slower to get going than its predecessors, with opening chapters that take some pushing through, and some fans rank it a little below the earlier books. A dependable choice for those who already enjoy Dan Brown’s formula and want nearly six hundred pages of it.
