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 latest from the author of bestselling Labyrinth, this adventure will keep you engrossed
The best of the Brits ... Where Mosse really wins is in the writing department. She's the real role model there
SEPULCHRE is a compulsive, fantastical, historical yarn. Mosse's skill lies in the precise nature of her storytelling
A sure, deft momentum . . . the secrets begin to slip out thick and fast
Her narrative lyricism, beautifully drawn female characters and deft journey from the past to the present day, are also a cut above
Ghosts, duels, murders, ill-fated love and conspiracy ... addictively readable
[Mosse is] a powerful storyteller with an abundant imagination
