Review
'a gripping holy grail quest ... the story line runs on knowledge and fun - Carcassonne never looked so good.' (Anthony Sattin SUNDAY TIMES )

Customer Reviews

Well, I enjoyed it...
I found Labryinth a harmless page turner which provided ample escapism on a summer holiday.
It didn't help me with a thesis, but Kate Mosse managed to transport me to another place and time for a few welcome hours each day.
The suspense didn't keep me awake but did have me picking the book up for more.
I found the use of the French language worked well in holding the story in place.
I'm going to try Sepulchre now...

Excellent!
Wow some people really didn't like this book did they!
I really enjoyed it, thought it was fun to read, kept me turning the pages, made me want to visit and I liked the plot!

Funny how we are all so different isn't it!
(The other language and translation did get on my nerves too a little bit though!)

Patchy grail quest fodder
Not a bad book, but not a literary masterpiece either. To be quite honest, I don't think the author intended it to be other than a good, undemanding yarn....which it was. There were no huge surprises in the plot outcomes and the reader's credibility was challenged on a number of occasions by the huge number of coincidences and the "dastardly baddie" characterisation was a bit overdone, but a good read by the pool for the holiday.
