Hello Beth, I have read all of the books up to Assasins, and I loved all of them, I have a couple of opinions on who did it, but will wait till he has read it, or you can email me at bbox7@hotmail.com and would love to discuss any of the books with you if you want. Just thought I'd say I did love all of them, and I love reading and learning anything I can about the end times.
god bless u all
Brian
