4.0 out of 5 starsA Worthy Second Effort
By Robert Abidor on April 8, 2008
Format: Hardcover
I purchased Sepulchre from Amazon UK so got to read it well before the US release. I too disagree with some of the harsh criticism that Mosse's book received. Part of the joy of reading period historical fiction is becoming part of the atmosphere. You can't do that in a few pages. You need to set the scene, create interest in characters and situations and come to understand where the author is taking you.

I found Sepulchre to be more similar to The Historian than to Labyrinth. A fairly complex plot over several time periods and places requires a depth of material. I found the descriptions of Paris excellent and in fact purchased Zola's Debacle after reading one of the character's discussion of the work. The action in the Carcasonne region is compelling.

I did not find the characters at all one dimensional. All express feelings and reactions that are well within the expected range. The story line is always interesting. Perhaps the reader needs some familiarity with French fiction of the period, like Victor Hugo's works to fully understand what Mosse is attempting. Also, the subject area should be very familiar to readers of recent fiction as it has been used in the DaVinci Code, The Templars and several other stories. The rich historical venue is a perfect setting for Sepulchre.

I found Mosse's second novel to be a fascinating addition to understanding the Church's purge of the Cathars and the treasures and threats that area possesses. Summer is coming. Sit on your favorite chair, take a cold drink and be prepared to be totally entertained by Sepulchre. I was.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Intelligent Reader's Mystery
By Avidreader on April 7, 2008
Format: Hardcover
I disagree with the other reviews completely. I thought this novel was superior to Labyrinth which I also enjoyed. This story moves seamlessly back and forth between the 1800s and the current time with two intertwined stories and heroines. The female characters are strong and interesting. Ms. Mosse took her time with the details which make this ghost story almost seem possible! Would love to see this one as a movie. The imagery and locale would be delightful to see on the big screen. Not a single boring moment in this entire novel! I'll be recommending this one to all my reading friends.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorthy read
By S. Ling on April 25, 2008
Format: Hardcover
I am in total agreement with the reviewer who wrote the following: "I found Sepulchre to be more similar to The Historian than to Labyrinth. A fairly complex plot over several time periods and places requires a depth of material." Anyone who enjoyed the novel "The Historian" will enjoy this book, and vice versa. The books have the same feel to them. Anyone who does not enjoy heavy description of location, atmosphere and ambiance will get bogged down, I agree... but for those of us who expect the author to paint word pictures so as to draw us into the narrative will not be disappointed. You can see, hear and feel where the characters are in this book. I look forward to more books by Ms. Mosse.

4.0 out of 5 starsInteresting. Surprising. Really good. Just shy of excellent.
By Billy Stewart VINE VOICE on July 31, 2008
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I looked forward to this 2nd novel (sort of, there are 2 other books no longer in print) from Mosse having read & enjoyed Labyrinth, her 1st. I wanted to read this based on Labyrinth & because one of the main characters was writing a biography of Claude Debussy, my favorite composer. Concerns of the French in the book didn't give me trouble after 4 years in high school, enough to help me through.

This is set up like Mosse's 1st novel with connections between a present day "heroine" and one of an earlier time. The story bounces between present day and turn-of-the-century southern France in the Languedoc (literally "language of Oc", spoken there hundreds of years before). The characters were, in my humble opinion, quite well written; I did find the characters in the past slightly more interesting than those of the present. The characters are tied by a secret that revolves around the ancient "art" of tarot. I don't personally believe in tarot or astrology or things of the sort, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book; if anything, my lack of knowledge on the subject made it all the more interesting. I have read of comparisons to Mosse's 1st novel, but I fail to see anything redundant in this novel, past & present heroines aside.

It is hard to write a review of this book with any detail without spoiling the story so I shall not give my usual summary so as to leave the mystery there should you read it. All I will say is that the book is thick with suspense, bouncing forward or back at just the right moment so that you remain continually frustrated when you must wait to return to the other characters or timeframe.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsMixed feelings
By Sandy Kay VINE VOICE on April 26, 2008
Format: Hardcover
There were things I enjoyed about this book and things I didn't. I have not read Labyrinth so I can't compare it to that book.

I did enjoy the historical detail and the descriptions of the places. I wouldn't have minded even more detail on the Visigoths. I didn't enjoy the frequent untranslated French phrases; many times I could guess what they meant but often I was in the dark.

When I realized the novel centered around a set of tarot cards, I worried that it might be a little too "woo-woo" for me. It came close, but so much of the book was about the threats from human evil that the supernatural parts were tolerable. However, I didn't think the author explained how the ancient set of cards along with Leonie's picture cards were able to be reproduced if they were buried.

I have mixed feelings because I liked the book enough to finish reading it, but probably wouldn't recommend it to my friends.
