A review by wyemu
The Secret Supper by Javier Sierra

1.0

I barely managed to finish this book. It felt like it was desperately trying to be the Da Vinci code only set in medieval times but the themes of misplaced religious zeal was still there. So much of the 'intrigue' became convoluted or just lost and failed to be the edge of the seat thrill that was offered on the book cover. The mystery failed to convince me and the 'complex' interpretations of the painting failed to convince as Sierra over-compensated in explanations what was lacking in genuine discovery. The final chapters felt as if they were rushed to tie up loose ends and the final solution to the murderers felt disappointing compared to the build up of suspense.
