The Da Vinci Code is a fictional story that builds upon real historical facts and pieces of artwork to create a strategically connected mystery. The story begins with a modern-day murder mystery, but the investigation uncovers centuries worth of additional hidden history. Called to help on the case by the Paris police, symbol-interpreting specialist Robert Langdon begins assessing evidence left in the Louvre after the shocking murder of the museum's curator. Working with Sophie, the granddaughter of the victim, Langdon must trace the victim's connection with the museum and its art pieces back to their very creation in order to solve the mystery of what Sophie's grandfather died to protect. As the investigation begins to unfold details surrounding the murder, the pair is led on an exhilarating journey filled with hidden clues and messages, spy espionage, and the opposition to long-kept secrets being revealed. I recommend this novel as a shockingly intricate mystery woven with real-life facts. Not only is the story entertaining, but it also teaches the reader about historical context and how circumstances can be extensively more detailed than originally meets the eye.
