Thanks for the thread, hermetic.

"Day of Confession" by Allan Folsom. The author of "The Day After Tomorrow" wrote this tale of Vatican intrigue, violence, and action. It was a good page-turner.

Just finished "Girl With A Pearl Earring" by Tracy Chevalier. Fiction told in the first person by the model / maid of the real artist Johannes Vermeer. It was surprisingly good and different. She took the reader back to 1666 common life in Delft.
