Review:

SEPULCHRE is a compulsive, fantastical, historical yarn. Mosse's skill lies in the precise nature of her storytelling (OBSERVER)

Ghosts, duels, murders, ill-fated love and conspiracy ... addictively readable (DAILY MAIL)

[Mosse is] a powerful storyteller with an abundant imagination (DAILY TELEGRAPH)

Brilliantly absorbing ... Richly evocative and full of compelling twists and turns (RED)

Mosse's gifts for historical fiction are considerable ... Mosse does what good popular historical novelists do best - make the past enticingly otherworldly, while also claiming it as our own (INDEPENDENT)

The best of the Brits ... Where Mosse really wins is in the writing department. She's the real role model there (DAILY MIRROR)

Her narrative lyricism, beautifully drawn female characters and deft journey from the past to the present day, are also a cut above (SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY)
