Customer Reviews

Sepulchere

This book was absolutely wonderful. I was sad to see it come to an end. What a fantastic journey. I can't wait to read Kate Mosse's next book.

Incredible! I could not put it down

I thought Sepulchre was very well done. I actually liked it better than Labyrinth. The characters were real to me and the plot moved along quickly in my opinion. I was sad to finish it. I particularly enjoyed the references to Labyrinth along with Audric and Shelagh O'Donnell. I felt as if I were meeting old friends.

Worthy read

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.

Great Reading

Excellent reading. Fast paced book. Good plot. No complicated story lines. Stayed on track without getting the reader lost. Comparing Sepulchre to Labyrinth, most historical pieces do sound alike in some aspects especially if they are going from past to present. But, I feel Kate Mosse pulled it off again. This book is well worth reading and purchasing for your collection. Great book.

An Intelligent Reader's Mystery

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.
