My friend and and neighbour, who BookCrosses as Blower, offered me a free hand to help myself from a bag of 20 books given her by another friend, all unregistered. This is one of the half a dozen I've taken to try, without giving any guarantee that I'll actually read it, of course!
I chose this one because it came with Blower's strong recommendation!

From Amazon: "The Pope is dead.
Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, one hundred and eighteen cardinals from all over the globe will cast their votes in the world’s most secretive election.
They are holy men. But they have ambition. And they have rivals.
Over the next seventy-two hours one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on earth."

Amazing, very good, a real page-turner from start to finish, couldn't put it down.
To start with it seemed familiar, and I thought I might have already read it, but that must be another novel about a papal election, as I most certainly haven't read the superb ending to this one before!
A rattling good yarn!

Returned to Blower with my thanks and appreciation. I think she has other potential readers in mind!

Passed to a friend who is not on Bookcrossing.
I have already read this book.

A really enjoyable book giving an insight into the workings of the Vatican and election of a new Pope. Characters and location well described. An intriguing plot.
