Hello readers,
I just finished my third Dan Brown book and… yeah, I have to admit: I really don’t like his writing style… you know the type… "He reached for the phone with one of his two hands" followed by 4 pages of describing a freaking door handle….
That said, I love his stories. I’m hooked every time. I can’t seem to put the damn thing down, no matter how much I cringe at the prose.
So I’m looking for recommendations: What are some of your favorite conspiracy thrillers that don’t suffer from the same writing pitfalls? Bonus points for secret societies, hidden codes, or wild historical twists!

Crying of lot 49
**The Templar Legacy** by Steve Berry. It has a former U.S. Justice Department agent investigating a conspiracy involving the Knights Templar and their legendary treasure. [Be aware its prologue contains gruesome horror. It can be skipped with no loss to the story.]
