A brilliant mixture of historical fiction, murder mystery, philosophy, and theology. I was completely gripped by this book and couldn’t put it down.

A brilliant mix of murder mystery, medieval theology, and philosophical debate. The ideas are deep, and William of Baskerville is a fascinating protagonist. Some parts are heavy with theological discourse, but the payoff is worth it. A dark, intelligent novel about truth, power, and the dangers of forbidden knowledge.
