The Magdalene Cipher, By Jim Hougan By kristyh on Nov 08, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Jim Hougan's book, "The Magdalene Cipher" was a book I picked up at a local library sell. I am very glad I did. The book was entertaining and kept you wondering. This book kind of reminded me of Dan Brown's "The Davinci Code" (which I loved) only not quite as good or controversial.

The storyline:

Down on his luck Jack Dunphy happens to stumble into a secret society that is so old the CIA is a cover for it.

Characters:

Jack is a regular CIA agent. I liked that his character was more normal and not the kick butt over dramatized action guy.

My opinion:

The book starts off immediately by grabbing your attention. I was surprised this book was as good as it was. I definitely recommend this book to any mystery reader!
