The Name of the Rose
Eco, a semiotics professor, crafts a medieval murder mystery set in a monastery where monks are dying in gruesome ways. Brother William investigates while the library holds forbidden knowledge and the Inquisition circles closer. It's intellectually demanding, dense with philosophy and wordplay, and genuinely suspenseful. The title itself is a meditation on meaning and naming.
