From amazon:
When Dr Alice Tanner discovers two skeletons during an archaeological dig in southern France, she unearths a link with a horrific and brutal past. But it's not just the sight of the shattered bones that makes her uneasy; there's an overwhelming sense of evil in the tomb that Alice finds hard to shake off, even in the bright French sunshine. Puzzled by the words carved inside the chamber, Alice has an uneasy feeling that she has disturbed something which was meant to remain hidden... Eight hundred years ago, on the night before a brutal civil war ripped apart Languedoc, a book was entrusted to Alais, a young herbalist and healer. Although she cannot understand the symbols and diagrams the book contains, Alais knows her destiny lies in protecting their secret, at all costs. Skilfully blending the lives of two women divided by centuries but united by a common destiny, LABYRINTH is a powerful story steeped in the atmosphere and history of southern France.

A Good read but not as good as I had heard on the publicity round.
What I hate most is authors who seem to love a particular sound for names. So many of the names in this book began with the same letter and to make it worse even the first three letters so when one is reading quickly one has to break off to remember which one is talking.
Please note any author reading this - give us readers a break and chose from the 26 letters of the alphabet not just a few letters for different names.
Also considering the author lives in Carcassone I was surprised how little she described this magnificent 'building'. Perhaps she has lived there too long to realise what a splendid place it is and reminded me of Disney World (he obviously copied his castle from there).
