Sepulchre
1 journaler for this copy...
1891: Seventeen-year-old Leonie Vernier and her brother abandon Paris for the sanctuary of their aunt's isolated country house near Carcassonne, the Domaine de la Cade. But Leonie stumbles across a ruined sepulchre - and a timeless mystery whose traces are written in blood.
2007. Meredith Martin arrives at the Domaine de la Cade to research a biography. But Meredith is also seeking the key to her own complex legacy and becomes immersed in the story of a tragic love, a missing girl, a unique deck of tarot cards and the strange events of one cataclysmic night a century ago...
-------------
Although Leonie and Meredith were interesting characters, I found the length of this book quite off-putting, and feel like it could easily have been a good 200 pages shorter without losing much of the story. It's a shame because I really enjoyed Labyrinth.
