I liked it. I enjoyed the characters – i love a book with good character development. They were believable and likeable (for the most part). The story itself was the ‘ok’ part. Blair was right when he said the puzzles were useless as the reader couldn’t solve them. If you ignore the puzzles, it was a mediocre mystery novel with some historical fact/fiction thrown in.

Overall, it was a fun read, but by no means a must read.
