Was I thinking I was checking out the novelization of In The Name of the Father (IRA story) and not The Name of The Rose (13th century monk crime story)? Yeah but it's kind of fun when I accidentally step into a genre I wouldn't normally read. And so I stepped! This book was:
A murder mystery
A full-on escape room
About the dangers of syllogisms, books preserved but not read, and religious fervor
A what-if theory about the lost second book of Poetics,
and kind of horny.
It was fun but tedious, twisty but repetitive, and tender, no notes on that one. Glad I fell into it.
