The Secret Supper by Javier Sierra
Literary mystery
This is one I would recommend for people who liked the Da Vinci Code but maybe wanted something just a little bit more literary. The time is 1497 and the city is Milan. Leonardo Da Vinci is putting the finishing touches on one of his greatest masterpieces: The Last Supper. But the Pope is concerned. There seem to be some things in the painting that might be heretical. Why don't Jesus or the apostles have halos? Why is there no meat on the table? Why is he facing away from Christ? Father Agostino Leyre has been sent by the Pope to find out the truth. Is Leonardo a heretic? And just what is he trying to say?
This one is good, but moves a bit slower than The Da Vinci Code. It is more of a suspense than a thriller, but worth it!
