I enjoyed Labyrinthe for its gripping story & looked forward to reading this one. It was disappointing & actuallly became a chore to finish. The writing is not crisp & the result is too long; it needed a good editor. Whoever proofread the final version also did a sloppy job.
Mosse has used the technique of duel time periods successfully before, but this time I don't think it worked. The introduction of American English for Meredith's appearance grated & was unnecessary. The characters were not particularly well drawn & suffered from being two dimensional. I found I did not care what happened to any of them.
Average at best - By: DCD, 13 Jul 2008 
There are quite a lot of polarised views here & whilst I can appreciate the views of the 1 Star reviewers, I do feel its current average of 3 stars is about right. This is a very average read. The historical story is the saving grace reallly. I liked Leonie, I thought her characterisation was pretty good & as the real heroine, one wanted her to prevail. the problem for me was the linkages between her & Meredith just didn't stack up. They were just too ethereal. The criticisms already leveled by others about the modern day characters are spot on & for this story to succeed, both strands of the story have got to be credible as has the way they intertwine (obviously notwithstanding the need to suspend belief). The climax is anything but. I couldn't believe how weak it was, given alll the build up. I certainly shan't be first in the queue to but Ms Mosse's next offering.
Completely Brilliant!!! - By: Lafontaine, 13 Jul 2008 
Sepulchre is, in my opinion, even better than Labyrinth - it is a very gripping book & i couldn't put it down! The story is told through both the past & the present & both are as exciting as each other. The book seemed slightly slow at the beginning but once I got into it it was hard to stop. This book deserves 5 stars!!!!!

I had read Labyrinth which was 'OK' but this left me cold! The story could have been so good given the various elements but ended up very weakly crafted & so far too long.The language made me cringe in parts!As the heroine strips off her last undergarment the hero says 'Wow!' That sums it alll up reallly!!!!!!!
