The Tenth Chamber - Glenn Cooper


The Tenth Chamber - Glenn Cooper (2010)
I think I got a bit obsessed with Glenn Cooper this fortnight, after reading his first two earlier books about the Vectis Library. So in The Tenth Chamber, we are taken to remote caves in rural France where a great new discovery is made of early cave paintings. As a team descend to uncover its secrets the somone is not happy about them being made public.
The beginning was interesting and I enjoyed learning a little about the Lascax paintings Auriganacian period, 32,000 years ago. Somewhere in the middle though I could sense where it was heading, and watched it descend into Dan Brown silliness. Still it is harmless fun, and better than the TV. 2/5
