Re: Recs for a Dan Brown fan?

Perhaps you could check out Kate Mosse? It has some similarities (although it depends what you're looking at of course).

"Labyrinth is an archaeological mystery English-language novel written by Kate Mosse set both in the Middle Ages and present-day France. It was published in 2005.

It divides into two main storylines that follow two protagonists, Alaïs (from the year 1209) and Alice (in the year 2005). The two stories occur in a shared geography and intertwine. The novel relies heavily on historical events such as the massacre at Béziers and the Crusade against the Cathars in Occitania, now the South of France, from around 1200. The text itself features many Occitan and French quotes. Ultimately the story becomes a quest for the Holy Grail.

In the 2006 British Book Awards, Labyrinth was awarded Best Read of the Year. According to The Sunday Times, it was the second best selling book in the United Kingdom in 2006, after The Da Vinci Code, selling about 865,400 copies in paperback. The Guardian ranked it the number one bestseller for 2006.[1][2]"

Thanks, that sounds like a pretty good match (as long as I disregard the "many Occitan and French quotes" bit). Alas, it appears to be out of print over here. I'll take a look at the used bookstore, but the chances are slim of it being there. Her other two books -- "Sepulchre" and "The Winter Ghosts" -- are available though! Would you recommend those as well, if you've read them?

They're all stand-alone stories, so it should be okay to read them out of sequence. But - forgot to mention - they are flirting a bit more with the supernatural than Brown do, so if he's allergic to that you should find something else. But they're all clever history-based page turners, so in that regard they should be just fine. :)

Yeah, oops, I asked before I read that the books were all connected. I'd feel bad not giving him the first in a series (even if they technically can stand alone), so I'll just pin my hopes on finding "Labyrinth" in the used bookstore.

And he enjoys supernatural stuff, so that's a plus! Thanks again for the rec :)
