About this listen

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 listening late into the night.

Would have expected a better performance from the so-called heroes , who were supposed to be well trained experts in their fields. Why didn’t they shoot when they had a chance instead of waiting to engage by hand and then getting a beating.

This book was seriously hard to get through. Boring and predictable. Thank God I can get onto something else.

Wannabe Davinci Code book

If I was comparing apples, I’d say Dan Brown is a freshly picked ‘export quality’ apple, whereas this book is a canned apple that’s best left in the back of your cupboard, only to be used if you’re desperate.

This book never held my attention, and I was disappointed with the quality of the writing.
