Review "The Last Templar" by Raymond Khoury

As I mentioned below in my "What I am reading now" comment, this book has many elements in common with the "Da Vinci Code" - a historical mystery relating to the early church, the Templars, the involvement of the Catholic Church, an art museum, etc. (I am not going to give too much of the plot away here.)

Mr. Khoury has written an entertaining book - if you enjoyed the "Da Vinci Code" and were not offended or upset by the end of the book then I would recommend "The Last Templar" as similar fiction. Enjoyable, thought-provoking, lots of good history, some modern chase/action scenes and some interesting characters.

If you have read neither I would read the "Da Vinci Code" first and then this book. Mr. Khoury's book even refers to the "Da Vinci Code" without naming that book.

Overall, an enjoyable read.
