Very much enjoyed this book, it's a political thriller with a unique setting. The twist ending was entertaining but telegraphed really. I would say this is worth a read

I felt it must be very close to what happens in conclave, having been in Rome many times. An excellent read.

Like a lot of the more recent Robert Harris books I was more educated than entertained and the plot is quite basic. It is still an interesting read though
