October 1891: A young girl, Leonie Vernier, and her brother, Anatole, are invited to leave the gas-lit streets of Paris and travel south to a mysterious country house - La Domaine de la Cade - near Carcassonne. There, in the ancient, dark woods, Leonie comes across a ruined sepulchre and is drawn into a century's old mystery of murder, ghosts and a strange set of tarot cards that seem to hold enormous power over life and death. October 2007: Meredith Martin decides to take a break from her research trip in Paris - where she is studying Claude Debussy - and head down south to a beautiful hotel in the woods. She becomes fascinated by the history of the place and particularly by the tragic events of one Halloween night more than a century before that shocked the small community. Thus her fate becomes entwined with that of Leonie. But it is only when she too stumbles over a secluded glade in the forest that she realises that the secrets it contains are far from dead and buried...A haunting mystery of revenge and obsession, set against the rich backdrop of southern France, SEPULCHRE is the stunning new novel from the bestselling author of LABYRINTH.

Kate Mosse has not let me down in her writings of Labarynth and Sepulcre. They held me captive from page one to the end. Labarynth was the first book I read by her and Sepulcre was even better. I like the fact that she holds the reader in abeyance right up to the end of the book and that she doesn't skimp on what she's writing about. I used to like Balducci, Paterson,, T. Jefferson Parker and Joseph Wambaugh (to name a few) that are just pushing out novels with no thought to what they write. They have been very disappointing to me and my friends and we have boycotted them from our favorite authors. As I stated, Ms. Mosse is new to me and I hope she keeps up the excellent work and doesn't succumb to pushing out books just to keep readers buying them like the afore mentioned. I hope she takes her time and writes what is pleasing to her and her readers and not to the publishers. I rate her last two books as 10 out of 10 and am looking to find the three previous books she has written. Kudos
