I found the audiobook in the audiobook-box of clawdiewauzi. I asked her, because she didn´t make a journal, but she said she must have missed it in the box, but it was meant to go into the box. I´ll take it out in exchange for something else.

While I´m at it, I´ll ad the blurb:
Fatima, Portugal, 1917: The Virgin Mary appears to three peasant children, sharing with them three secrets, two of which are soon revealed to the world. the third secret is sealed away in the Vatican an not disclosed until the year 2000. When revealed, its puzzling tone and anticlimactic natureleave many faithful wondering if the Church has truly unveiled all of the Virgin Mary´s words - or if a massage far more important has been left in the shadows.

Vatican City, present day: Papal secretary Father Colin Michener is concerned for the Pope. Night after restless night, Clement XV enters the Vatican´s Riserva, the special archive open only to popes, whrere the Church´s most clandestine and controversial documents are stored. Though unsure of the details, Michener knows that the Pope´s distress stems from the revelations in Fatima.

Equally concerned, but not out of any sense of compassion, is Alberto Cardinal Valendrea, the Vatican´s Secretary of State. Valendrea desperately covets the papacy, having narrowly lost out to Clement at the last conclave. Now the Pope´s interest in Fatima threatens to uncover a shocking ancient truth that Valendrea has kept to himself for many years.

When Pope Clement sends Michener to the Romanian highlands in search of a venerable priest, a perilous set of events unfolds. Michener finds himself embroiled in murder, suspicion, suicide, deceit, and his forbidden passion fpr a beloved woman. In a desperate search for answers, he travels to a Bosnian holy site and then to Pope Clement´s birthplace in Germany, where he learns that the third secret of Fatima may dictate the very fate of the Church - a fate Michener finds lying in his own hands.

I came around to this audiobook yesterday and heard it all in one go. It is read very well and it was easy to understand and to follow. At times I forgot it was in English and not in German...
The story was very suspensefull and I liked it. I could not stop bevor the end, even though it was 1:30 am bevor it was at an end. I don´t feel compelled to compare it with Dan Browns books. It is different because I would put this more into fantasy and Dan Browns book more into the thriller section... But that´s just me, trying to put the book into a category. I liked the central character even though his crisis of faith was a bit abrupt and not quite explainable out of the plot. Somebody who believed all his live, and then? Or it should have featured more from the beginning. The end was a bit too short...

The audiobook waits for the next box.
