Can anyone recommend any books in the same vein as Da Vinci Code and Labyrinth?
Thanks

Read the novel "Enigma" by Robert Harris. It explores the art and mathematics of codebreaking and describes the endeavours of the boffins at Bletchley Park to break the German Enigma Code.

I enjoyed that too.

Try The Sixth Lamentation by William Broderick or The Assassini by Thomas Gifford . Both good ..much better than DVC ! He couldn't hold my attention past the first chapter.!
Or the Jonathan Argyll series by Iain Pears.
Or you might like The Flanders Panel by Arturo Perez-Reverte.
Although the Gifford and Reverte were published a while ago now but you should be able to get hold of them somewhere.

I've recently read The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury which was very over the top, but an ok read.

Also read The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry which was surprisingly good!

Putting a different spin on the grail stories is The Righteous Men by Sam Bourne. Focuses on the Jewish religion and is quite interesting.

I loved Labyrinth!

should have said I'm not a huge fan of Dan Brown as find his style of writing a bit immature, but like some of the topics he covers. however if you liked the DVC then try his other one Angels & Demons which has a similar theme.

Not really about the grail, but a similar vein anyhow (murders and secret codes etc).

The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason

I would defo suggest The Templar Legacy 2, it is great. Of course there is also the one that started it all off and got banned 'Holy blood Holy Grail' which has all the historical facts that DVC is based on. A bit heavy going, but its all in there! Dan Browns 'Angels and Demons' written before DVC is brilliant !!
