Posted January 22, 2012 I am back! When I started reading this book, I fell ill.

Book Number: 9 Number Of Pages:528 Book Title: Labyrinth Author: Kate Mosse Summary: Alice Tanner is helping out at an archeological site near Carcasonne, France. She discovers a tombe in the mountains with an odd labyrinth and 2 skeletons, with a ring and a bag. Then people start to disappear, or even get murdered. The story of a young woman, who lived in Carcassone 800 years ago unravels at the same time. She had to protect a precious book. And the hunt for that book is still not over. Alice is caught in a web between past and present and wants to figure out what happened. Review: I started reading this book because my father likes it a lot. He visited the area where this story takes place and was impressed by the way the asmosphere was captured in that book. I am interested in visiting the area now, the book intrigued me and told me the story about the Cathar Inquisition. As a result of this, I bought a informative book about the Cathars yesterday, at a book fair! But first: finish reading my next book Tolkien's Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun!
