Sepulchre (Languedoc Trilogy, #2)

by Kate Mosse

[Terri M. LeBlanc]

Overall a decent book. Once the main character got to the south of France, I was wishing I hadn't loaned my copy of Mosse's Labyrinth as I recall some of the characters appear in both books. This is a decent read and the tension in the book is really well done, but I was disappointed, as is usually the case when I read mystery novels, with the solution to the puzzle. I think once the Meredith gets to where she is going and meets the people she is suppose to meet, I think it is way too obvious as to the way everything shakes out. However, I love historical fiction and I like the way Mosse blends the past with the present. It what keeps me readying. She does the past very well, maybe her next novel should focus entirely in the past?

On a side note, I would like to see Mosse add a glossary to her books so I know if I'm translating the French in my head properly.
