Summary
Brought vividly to life by Louise Brealey's narration, this unabridged audiobook also includes extra content read by the author, Kate Mosse.
Three secrets. Two women. One Grail . . .
July 1209: in Carcassonne, France, a seventeen-year-old girl is given a mysterious book by her father, which he claims contains the secret of the true Grail. Although Alais cannot understand the strange words and symbols hidden within, she knows that her destiny lies in keeping the secret of the labyrinth safe . . .
July 2005: Alice Tanner discovers two skeletons in a forgotten cave in the French Pyrenees. Puzzled by the labyrinth symbol carved into the rock, she realizes she's disturbed something that was meant to remain hidden. Somehow, a link to a horrific past - her past - has been revealed.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Hokum but entertaining enough
Lovely narration, entertaining and clearly centred on a knowledgeable depiction of the Languedoc, Labyrinth is a sort of Cathar Da Vinci Code. A sprawling implausible blend of history and myth, centred on a timeless secret shot through with a saccharine love story.
As a piece of escapism it passes the time, nothing all that original, but a competent piece of writing based on one of the most brutal and shameful pogroms in history.
Generally I enjoyed it as a story, but it was a bit too far fetched for my tastes, bit of a guilty pleasure I suppose. Intellectually well informed, vividly authentic in its depiction of the region and the tensions between Occitanie and French, but a very silly plot which was as derivative as it was daft!
In other words good fun! You could do worse if you are looking for a book to fill the time!

Tortured not tortuous
Dull story. Full of predictable characters. Read like fan fiction. Gave up in the end. Very disappointing as i had heard Kate Mosse talk about it and was intrigued

LOVE this book
I read this book about 10 years ago and loved it, I spotted it on here and wanted to relive it again but with all the correct French pronunciations. It is a great story as are the two books that follow (Citdel and Sepulchre) but this narrator is not great at distinguishing between characters talking, sometimes she would change the voices between characters, sometimes she would not, it was a bit confusing. But do not let this put you off, this is a fantastic book.

Wonderful book!
I first read the Labyrinth trilogy some years ago, and found it a very moving story. I've really enjoyed listening to this first book of the trilogy and will definitely listen to the others!

very enjoyable
I wasn't sure after reading the reviews but decided to give it a try after visiting Carcassonne. I am not usually into historical novels but loved it and am looking forward to book 2.

I got there on the end
I am glad I eventually listened to this audio all the way through. After several starts I thought I never would. I’m unsure why I found it so difficult in the beginning and at other time’s too.
An interesting story jumping back through time to present day. I would recommend it

A story you can listen to again and again
I’ve read this book and listened to it on audible a number of times over the past 15 years. It is such a fascinating story and one that keeps you captivated in what is unfolding, as well as sparking a real interest in the real history of what happened in those times in those places. It really transports you to what the characters are experiencing.
