    About this audiobook

    An elaborately woven novel of intrigue about one of America's most curious and enduring legends -- the enigma of the Lady in Blue

    In Los Angeles, Jennifer Narody has been having a series of disturbing dreams involving eerie images of a lady dressed in blue. What she doesn't know is that this same spirit appeared to leaders of the Jumano Native American tribe in New Mexico 362 years earlier, and was linked to a Spanish nun capable of powers of "bilocation," or the ability to be in two places simultaneously. Meanwhile, young journalist Carlos Albert is driven by a blinding snowstorm to the little Spanish town of Ágreda, where he stumbles upon a nearly forgotten seventeenth-century convent founded by this same legendary woman. Intrigued by her rumored powers, he delves into finding out more. These threads, linked by an apparent suicide, eventually lead Carlos to Cardinal Baldi, to an American spy, and ultimately to Los Angeles, where Jennifer Narody unwittingly holds the key to the mystery that the Catholic Church, the U.S. Defense Department, and the journalist are each determined to decipher -- the Lady in Blue.

      This book is an interesting story about many different people. (That is a big reason why I only gave it 3 stars- sometimes it was difficult to follow the people and the times that they were in) It centers around a nun the "Lady in Blue" who bilocates aka- being in two places at once- from Spain to the Southwestern United States. The story brings in clergy of the Catholic church, police, a reporter and photgrapher, native americans, government officials etc- thus the confusion. I really enjoyed the book even though I did have to go back a couple of times to make sure I knew who was who and when they were doing it. It is SLIGHTLY along the lines of the DaVinci code in that it investigates into the Catholic church with a conspiracy theory. It is a contemporary story tied into historical fiction based on real people and events which always makes an interesting story to me. As mentioned before I would have given it more stars if it didn't require quite some much thought and energy. :)
    • 4/5
      Historical fiction based on truth. It's the story of the Lady in Blue, who appeared to the Native Americans in 1629-1633, a modern American woman of Native American descent on her mother's side who they call the Great Dreamer, & sees these events in her dreams, a Spanish journalist, & the involvement of the Vatican, & the intercession of angelic descendants. It's definitely NOT the DaVinci Code, but it stands on it's own, with a lot of plot twists & turns. Fascinating historical/religious fiction & well worth the read. So is this author's first book, The Secret Supper :)
    • 4/5
      Strange book that had attracted me by his cover and title. It is about bilocation of a Spanish nun, the lady in blue, who converted Indian people in the 17th century in New Mexico. A young Spanish journalist Carlos Albert, who isn't religious, comes across tales about the nun en goes exploring. There are more threads in the book: one of them is about the Catholic church thinks about bilocation nowadays and in the seventeenth century; another is about Jennifer Narody who has been having a series of disturbing dreams involving images of a lady in blue. These threads linked by an apparant suicide, eventually lead Carlos to Cardinal Baldi, to an American spy and to Jennifer Narody. The story is like the stories of Dan Brown: it gives another view on some Christian stories and tells them as of these views are real. The difference is that the books of Dan Brown are far better written: they captivate the reader.
    • 2/5
      The story has a good plot but very confusing. A lot of characters that confuses me. A lot of changes in settings, such as in TIME and PLACE. There was a surprise towards the end that felt out of place for me. The story was disjointed and was not nicely translated. I think the author could have gone another path.
    • 3/5
      Not as good as the his 'secret supper' but an engaging read nonetheless. Its a clever plot, well written and I do enjoy the use of stories set in different times that gradually converge - the technique is used well in this novel.
    • 3/5
      There are several different storylines that intersect--all centered around the mysterious ability of a nun from the 17th century to bi-locate (seemingly be in two places at once). She lived in spain but appeared to the indians on New Mexico. Parts of the novel flash back to these historical events, but parts also take place in the present as several individuals are searching for the truth behind this ability. Along the way they seem to be guided or aided by supernatural forces.I had trouble following parts of this, and I found the premise so far fetched that I had trouble enjoying the story. If you enjoy a lot of mysticism in your stories you might like it.
