I really enjoy Kate Mosse's books, and I always devour them. This book is the start of the new series, and, of course, it takes place in Mosse's favorite area, Carcassonne.
Honestly, the mystery involving Minou was fairly easy to solve, at least for me. I enjoyed the characters and the writing overall.

Now, I just need to find a copy of The City of Tears, the second book in the series. Mosse's books are fairly hard to find here in the USA sometimes, so I'm on the hunt.

Kudos

This memoir is the true story of Jessica Fishman, a young Jewish woman from the USA and her experiences when she moved to Israel to start a life there. In this book, Fishman details all the pitfalls of her learning Hebrew, getting into the army, finding a job as a civilian as well as the straw that broke the camel's back and forced her back to America (for a while). Read what I thought of this autobiography in my review here.
