Book Review of Splintered Icon

Splintered Icon
reviewed on + 48 more book reviews


The blurb on the front implies the action and excitement of a Dan Brown however this is a more slowly moving story- don't expect puzzles and codes let alone a heart racing chase scene (well, there is a chase scene but it's more of a meander through Jamaica than anything else). While I did enjoy the book I was more impressed with the cabin boy's story than the mystery being solved in the present day chapters- I would buy this again simply for the history presented because it was integrated so well into the story but overall it doesn't live up to it's hype.
