by Umberto Eco
The year is 1327, and Brother William of Baskerville is visiting an abbey in Italy with a young novice, Adso. Over the course of seven days, seven monks will die in the abbey, and Brother William is determined to find and stop the killer. He is also determined to discover the the mysteries of a much coveted book in the abbey's library, which appears to be linked to the deaths. Rich in atmosphere and details, this highly literary mystery will keep readers up 'til wee hours of the morning.
This novel has long been on my list of books to read. How very satisfying to finally tackle this masterpiece.
