Charm Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I found great copies of both Labyrinth and Sepulchre in charity shops. They are standing among the rest of the books on my book shelf waiting to be read, I keep skipping over them for some reason, maybe it's their size Quote
Kidsmum Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I've not read Sepulchre but I did enjoy Labyrinth & I have Winter Ghosts on my TBR pile Quote
Weave Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I still have 'Labyrinth' on my book shelf and 'The Winter Ghosts' on my tbr pile Quote
shirley Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I didnt realise that it was such a long time ago that I read this book, I like anything to do with archaeology so this book was always going to be a winner, I was worried about the size of the book at first, but once I got into it the pages just flew past. getting to know the characters is the best bit and learning their stories. A second read may be on the cards Quote
Hayley Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I loved this book! I literally couldn't put it down. Might re-read it actually after spotting this thread Quote
Maureen Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Yes, it is a great book. I have yet to read its sequel though.... Quote
bethany725 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 love love love this book! After reading this and then 'Sepulche' I have developed an unhealthy obsession with wanting to visit Carcassone and surrounding areas. Glad to hear you liked 'Sepulchre' as it's in my bookshelf, also, and just haven't given it a go. Sounds like there are a lot of in this same boat with this book. I might need to give it a try soon!

Hayley Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I'm confused, is Sepulchre the sequel to the Labyrinth? I haven't read Sepulchre but I assumed they were completely separate? :/ Quote
SueK Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) I'm confused, is Sepulchre the sequel to the Labyrinth? I haven't read Sepulchre but I assumed they were completely separate? :/ They are separate. They just hapen to take place in the same area in France. Edited July 19, 2011 by SueK Quote
lynb Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Hi- I'm new to this, this is my first comment. I have read both Labyrinth and Sepulchre and they were totally seperate stories. I loved them both. Hope this helps. Quote
Maureen Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Oh, my mistake then! Sorry! I thought that Sepulchure was a sequel. Quote
Hayley Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Wish there was a sequel though! I guess Sepulchre is about as close as we're going to get. By the way... does anybody happen to know how you pronounce Sepulchre? Quote
Ooshie Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I would say sep - ul - kir, but folk not from the West of Scotland might say it differently! Quote
DoingCartwheels Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I was attracted to the hype and good reviews of Sepulchre, but when I tried I just couldn't get into it. Normally I don't like to give up but I didn't even try a second time. Although every time someone brings up this or Labyrinth it is only with praise! Quote
emmylou Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I bought Labyrinth and Sepulchre at the same time after hearing some great things, I read Labyrinth and thought it was alright but I just didnt get the hype! Maybe I was missing something? I havent yet been inspired to read Sepulchre. Quote
Joe Reader Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I bought Labyrinth ages ago and really enjoyed starting reading it - for some reason I stopped and haven't picked it up since. Really need to pick it up again Quote
SueK Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I bought Labyrinth and Sepulchre at the same time after hearing some great things, I read Labyrinth and thought it was alright but I just didnt get the hype! Maybe I was missing something? I havent yet been inspired to read Sepulchre. I don't think so emylou, there was a lot of hype surrounding Labyrinth and I didn't go for it. It was OK but not great writing. Quote
Booknutt Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I'm getting into a real "mystery" mood these days as I'm halfway through the final book of the Kathleen McGowan "The Expected One" trilogy. I spotted brand new copies of both "Labyrinth" and "Sepulcure" yesterday in a charity shop for £2.50 each - and snaffled them! I listened to them both on audio book a few years ago, so I'll enjoy reading them for myself, now. One of the things I like about these books is the mystery without the buckets of blood! I can accept a murder in the course of a story as a means of increasing tension, but the habit of some authors of soaking the pages of their "mysterys" in gore puts me off - big time. A nice mysterious mystery is what I look for. Anyone else planning to read any Kate Mosse books this summer? Quote
Booknutt Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Was a bit doubtful about "Winter Ghosts" initially - but as it's not too scary will look out for it, too. Edited August 3, 2012 by Booknutt Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I'm not planning on reading any this year, but I did enjoy both Labyrinth and Sepulchre a few years ago, and thought they made really good holiday reads. Hope you enjoy reading them as much as listening to them, Booknutt Quote
Booknutt Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 There's a DVD of the Kate Mosse "Labyrinth" t.v. series out! Of course, it might not be very accurate as regards following the novel, a lot of "adaptations" aren't. I'm risking it and getting myself a copy though, as it'll probably be a-g-e-s till it'd come onto Freeview, which is all I watch. In the meantime - what a good excuse to refresh ourselves on the book, again. Quote
chesilbeach Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I didn't even know they'd adapted it for television. Although I enjoyed it, and it worked perfectly as a holiday read, it's not a book I'd want to read again to be honest. Quote
Pangolin Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I picked this up from the library today, having read 'The Winter Ghosts' recently and thought it a good read. I've been thinking of reading this for a long while but I think I was put off a little by its hugeness. Quote
risingdawn Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I'm not sure if I have read Labyrinth. I know I've read Citadel as that is the most reason one. And I know I definitely read another Kate Mosse book with the kind of cover these one's have but can't remember which one. xD Citadel is quite good Quote
