5.0 out of 5 stars A different view of Rome, The vatican & WW2, June 10, 2002

This review is from: The Unholy Trinity (Hardcover)

Excellent knowledge of The Eternal City, so good you can visit the places named, with a wiew of the Second World War that is not shown in "Band of Brothers" etc.
The book (un)intentionally gives clues to the problems in the 90's Balkans while still engrossing the reader in a superb plot with excellent characterisation.
For those who enjoy action/mystery/historical novels, with a regard for the Vatican as a political organisation with its encumbent machinations, this is an engrossing novel.

This review is from: The Unholy Trinity (Hardcover)

Adam has given us a tense, exciting thriller. It's fast paced but also interesting as I learned things about WWII, events in Ustashe, Yugoslavia and Ante Pavelic, leader of the Croatian Fascist movement, I had not known. The history doesn't bog down the action of the story. The relationship between Andy and Elena adds to the dimension. I did feel the ending was very abrupt and left a lot of loose threads, hence my lower rating. But it was still and enjoyable read and would make a great airplane book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Page turner par excellence, October 25, 2004

By 

Belle du Jour (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Unholy Trinity (Hardcover)

Two thumbs up for this compelling novel! It is a very good crime thriller that is totally addictive from page one. A mystery encompassing the murder of a maverick Roman Catholic priest, a shadowy group of neo-Fascists and corruption at the highest levels of the Vatican, Unholy Trinity brings these events to life, and then documents the efforts of a journalist and a committed public prosecutor to get to the bottom of the mystery. Paul Adam brings modern day Rome to life and demonstrates good knowledge of the somewhat arcane Italian legal system. I highly recommend Unholy Trinity, and trust other thriller fans will enjoy it as much as I did!
