The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco ★★★☆☆

Some men just want to make the world burn - images cut from Batman and Alfred, then the Joker in front of the fire
That just about sums up the book.  

An impressive level of research and love of history went into this book.  But if you don’t share Echo’s niche love of medieval ecclesiastical history the book is tear-out-your-hair frustrating.
