About this listen
‘This 5-star thriller is a non-stop action-packed adventure… Reads like the latest blockbuster film… I was left breathless, my heart pounding as I turned the last page’ NetGalley review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You’ve cracked the Da Vinci code, now uncover the Vatican secret…
The deepest secrets are kept in the darkest places.
When ex-MI5 operative Joe Mason is sent to Rome to guard an elderly professor and his daughter, he thinks he’s in for an easy ride.
But on their first day in the Vatican secret archives, a masked assassin gains entry, shoots Joe’s client in cold blood and steals an ancient manuscript. Giving chase, Joe can’t imagine what could lie within those pages that would make someone willing to kill.
The search for answers leads Joe and his comrades in a race against time, across continents and into treacherous mountains. Only they have a hope of rescuing the Vatican Book of Secrets before a centuries-old enemy can succeed in bringing Rome – and the world as we know it – crashing down…
The Da Vinci Code meets Die Hard in this fast-paced, adrenaline-filled, action-adventure thriller. Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Clive Cussler, The Vatican Secret will have you turning the pages late into the night.

But this book just didn’t do it for me… I couldn’t escape into any written reality, it wasn’t awful, and I managed to get through to the end, but it wasn’t for me.
Definitely no Dan Brown, and Jack Reacher is safe, i’m sorry I couldn’t be more positive.
If you’ve read Dan Brown, don’t read this book! If you haven’t read Dan Brown, then go ahead read this book

The writing was clunky. The action not described very well so you were not sure what was happening. Silly plot developments.
The reader seemed as bored as me.
It was a globe trotting adventure but in the end of the day was just dull. I stopped listening for chunks of time.
Very poor.
Clunky and dull
