1891. Seventeen-year-old Leonie Vernier and her brother abandon Paris for the sanctuary of their aunt's isolated country house near Carcassonne, the Domaine de la Cade. But in the nearby woods, Leonie stumbles across a ruined sepulchre - and a timeless mystery whose traces are written in blood.

2007. Meredith Martin arrives at the Domaine de la Cade as part of her research for a biography she's writing. But Meredith is also seeking the key to her own complex legacy and soon becomes immersed in the story of a tragic love, a missing girl, a unique deck of tarot cards, an unquiet soul and the strange events of one cataclysmic night more than a century ago...

Critics' reviews

SEPULCHRE is a compulsive, fantastical, historical yarn. Mosse's skill lies in the precise nature of her storytelling
Ghosts, duels, murders, ill-fated love and conspiracy ... addictively readable
[Mosse is] a powerful storyteller with an abundant imagination
Brilliantly absorbing ... Richly evocative and full of compelling twists and turns
Mosse's gifts for historical fiction are considerable ... Mosse does what good popular historical novelists do best - make the past enticingly otherworldly, while also claiming it as our own
The best of the Brits ... Where Mosse really wins is in the writing department. She's the real role model there
Her narrative lyricism, beautifully drawn female characters and deft journey from the past to the present day, are also a cut above
A sure, deft momentum . . . the secrets begin to slip out thick and fast
The latest from the author of bestselling Labyrinth, this adventure will keep you engrossed
All stars

Vorweg: Ich war begeistert von Labyrinth und auch von der deutschen Hörbuchfassung! Vor lauter Freude, daß die ungekürzte Fassung im Origignal zu haben war, habe ich gleich zugegriffen - ohne vorher reinzuhören. Mein Fehler! Außer, man liebt extrem amerikanischen Kaugummi-Akzent und konsequent falsch ausgesprochenes Französisch, hat man an diesem Hörbuch keine Freude. Daß die Sprecherin sich nicht einmal die Mühe macht, die Aussprache einfacher Namen wie 'Debussy' und Pariser Straßen- etc. Namen wenigstens einigermaßen korrekt hinzukriegen, sondern diese permanent so falsch ausspricht, daß ich sie oft nicht verstehe, versaut einem regelrecht das Hörbuch. Dann noch die Idiotie, daß die französischen Charaktere durchgängig Englisch mit einem französischen Akzent sprechen - was soll das??? Sollen nun alle amerikanischen Charaktere in übersetzten Hörbüchern mit amerikanischen Akzent Deutsch sprechen? Traurig, da Intonation und Dramaturgie per se sehr gut sind. Kurz: Ich kann dieses Hörbuch überhaupt nicht empfehlen und werde mir eine andere Version holen.

Bloß nicht im Original!
