This debut novel by Dean and Catherine Reineking is reminiscent of Dan Brown’s The Davinci Code. Canadian Gabe Roslo goes to the Amalfi coast to visit his grandparents and go climbing. But the next morning he finds his grandfather dead. There’s a message on the mirror and a diary. These are the only clues Gabe has to figure out what is going on. Gabe is introduced to a cast of characters to help him learn about his grandfather and what his grandfather was up to. Gabe is now putting his life at risk, but he isn’t sure for what.
If you like religious secrets and learning about its ties to history with added in thrills, then this book is for you! The first half of this book is heavy on explanation about Freemasons and religious symbols. It got to be a little much for me and it was dense to read. However, I know that there are a lot of readers that love that and it’s very clear that these authors are very knowledgeable. The second half of the book is filled with action, and that’s where the book picked up for me. Once the action really starts, it does not stop. This book would do well as a movie.
With the action comes running off to different locations on the Amalfi coast. My husband and I visited there when we were on our honeymoon, so it took me back a bit. We stayed in Sorrento and took a bus down the coast through Positano to Ravello. We also took the book to Capri and the chair lift to the Anacapri. The descriptions of these locales were spot on, and provided the perfect imagery for the reader.
So if you love secrets, codes, symbols, interwoven history, and thrills, check this book out!
