The second book in the Robert Langdon series opens with the premise when the French officials summons our renowned Havard symbologist after the murder of the Lourve museum's curator,  Jacques Saunière leaving behind some peculiar mathematical puzzles and some messages around the crime scene. Later Robert teams up with Sofie, a cryptologist to solve the bizarre murder mystery of Jacques, tracking down some deep-rooted connection with the greatest historian Leonardo Da Vinci.

This pulse-taking novel is beyond appreciation and is so much close to perfect!  The characters in the book are amazing, the thrills, the conspiracy, and the cliffhangers will force you to turn the pages to achieve a proper conclusion. The story much deals with the firm cultural era on the biggest aspect, which may be liked by a non-history freak, and chances are there that it may bore you also.  However, the expector of this book turns out to be the intricate and staggering work of Dan Brown reflecting the historian culture and artwork.  It has some really controversial topics with Christianity and its culture for e.g profound tales of Jesus and Lady Macbeth.  It also talks about some mind-boggling and intriguing work of the great Da Vinci, and after reading this, you will definitely build a different perspective towards that man,  The initial pace of the story is a bit slow and you have to push yourself to an extent of 50-100 pages, to get a proper insight of, even though the entire plot revolves around the incidents of a single night. The language is pretty impactful and is a must-read for a history freak or for someone who is so much into the culture!
