Brought vividly to life by Louise Brealey's narration, this unabridged audiobook includes extra content read by the author, Kate Mosse.

Set in the breathtaking landscape of Southern France, Labyrinth is Kate Mosse's historical mystery – sweeping from the 13th century wars between Catholics and Cathars, to modern-day Grail legend.

'A gripping holy grail quest . . . the story line runs on knowledge and fun.' – Sunday Times

July 1209: Carcassonne, France, a seventeen-year-old girl is given a mysterious book by her father, which he claims contains the secret of the true Grail. Although Alais cannot understand the strange words and symbols hidden within, she knows that her destiny lies in keeping the secret of the labyrinth safe . . .

July 2005: Alice Tanner discovers two skeletons in a forgotten cave in the French Pyrenees. Puzzled by the labyrinth symbol carved into the rock, she realizes she's disturbed something that was meant to remain hidden. Somehow, a link to a horrific past – her past – has been revealed.

A fairly predictable historical tale. I don’t doubt the author was thorough, and loved her subject, but somehow it was all so predictable, characters were one dimensional, and honestly by the end I was just relieved to get it over with.

Good enough, not great

Lovely narration, entertaining and clearly centred on a knowledgeable depiction of the Languedoc, Labyrinth is a sort of Cathar Da Vinci Code. A sprawling implausible blend of history and myth, centred on a timeless secret shot through with a saccharine love story.

As a piece of escapism it passes the time, nothing all that original, but a competent piece of writing based on one of the most brutal and shameful pogroms in history.

Generally I enjoyed it as a story, but it was a bit too far fetched for my tastes, bit of a guilty pleasure I suppose. Intellectually well informed, vividly authentic in its depiction of the region and the tensions between Occitanie and French, but a very silly plot which was as derivative as it was daft!

In other words good fun! You could do worse if you are looking for a book to fill the time!

Hokum but entertaining enough

Had I of read this book I think I would have thoroughly enjoyed it. However the narrator brought it to life so well I couldn't listen to it enough. This was a wonderful first book to begin my audible journey on.

Amazing Book and narrator
