Sex, scandal, and scheming meet religion, history, and architecture. It seemed an unlikely pairing to me, but I found the book a compelling, quick read despite its length. There are a lot of characters, but keeping track of them is surprisingly easy, and the ways that their paths cross is very interesting and often unexpected.
