Puzzled by the words carved inside the chamber, Alice has an uneasy feeling that she has disturbed something which was meant to remain hidden...Eight hundred years ago, on the night before a brutal civil war ripped apart Languedoc, a book was entrusted to Alais, a young herbalist and healer. Although she cannot understand the symbols and diagrams the book contains, Alais knows her destiny lies in protecting their secret, at all costs. Skilfully blending the lives of two women divided by centuries but united by a common destiny, LABYRINTH is a powerful story steeped in the atmosphere and history of southern France.

#1 must read
This is a book that should be read at least twice. It is some of the best writing I have ever read and the tale is so well presented.
It is a must read. The same can be said for The Sepulchre.
Kate Moss is a superb author.

Awesome Book!
This book was a book club pick for the CSUCI book Club. I loved how it took place through history and the present. A good take on something that we have all read or seen in The Da Vinci Code. Can't decide if I want to part with it or keep it on my bookshelf.

Too much detail
This is an intriguing story that got lost in too much detail. The attention to detail was almost scholarly, which was a distraction in some cases. It broke the action so the scenes didn't flow as smoothly as I liked. It was not the page-turner that I had hoped it would be and had a predictable ending. I would recommend it to people who enjoyed "The DaVinci Code" or similar fiction.
