Critics Review
A compulsively readable novel
A compulsively readable novel * Iain Pears *
A genuine treat, with its sneaky plot and richly textured storytelling. It also moves so fast that readers won’t realize how smart it is * San Francisco Chronicle *
Codex takes its place on the shelf [with] The Name of the Rose, Possession and A Case of Curiosities, and it’s as entertaining as any of them * New York Times *
Fabulously entertaining … By turns fascinating, compelling, and deliciously disturbing. It’s an intelligent thriller that truly is just that: intelligently thrilling * Boston Globe *
Mesmerizing from start to finish … A fabulous double-helix of a novel * Baltimore Sun *
