Helpful Score: 1

Now this is a well written book, with lots of mystery, thrill, and historical background. Kostova really excels at giving descriptions, making each place seem very real. The pace was a little slow to start, but I felt like I was in the shoes of the narrator who is fed a little bit of the story by her father over a series of months (so the pace works well with what was going on in the story). Now THIS is what a thriller should be like, in my opinion. I don't know what's going to happen next. I care about the characters. The clues are tantalizing but don't give too much away.
