This novel is the follow up to Labyrinth and is available this week from WHSmith for £2.99 when you buy The Times Newspaper. Having read a number of reviews I think it sounds quite interesting so I may get it.
It starts in 1891 when a Parisian teenager named Léonie Vernier and her brother visit their recently widowed aunt Isolde who is living in the French spa-town of Rennes-les-Bains in southern France. There they discover a startling account of her late uncle’s pursuit of the occult, So decide to scour the property for the tarot cards and Visigoth tomb he described, unaware that more tangible peril in the form of a murderous stalker is seeking to destroy her loved ones.

So She investigates the connection when she, too, arrives at the estate, which has now become a hotel and discovers a new battle between good and evil going on….
