I did but I found it too long. It wasn't as good as the first one.
Caleb Carr wrote a 3rd book but it is set in the future and I am not into that sort of genre.
His first book was excellent. I loved it.

A great easy/Fun read is carly phillips the bachelor, the playboy, and the heartbreaker.
I loved the da vinci code and the millionaires and the first counsel by Brad Meltzer.
Being on the train does have some advantages I read about 3-4 books a month!
