The Ghosts of Albi

Rating:
Summary: A very good historical mystery
Review: I've recently become interested in the Albigensian crusade and the Cathars. Most nonfiction work on the subject is full of dry details. This book is a good way to get the flavor of the Languedoc in the 13th century without wading through lots of dates and names. The story is clever and told with warmth and suspense. It's a quick, entertaining read.
