Conclave by Robert Harris

This is such a great story. It walks the fine line of respect to the Catholic faith and still deals with the dark sides. It also does a brilliant job of showcasing the mundane aspect of being a religious leader, it’s not just constant asceticism. Another strong point is the emphasis on how different individuals serve God in different ways and with different personalities.

Plus the twists are all excellent
