A deep red rose – the symbol of beauty, passion, desire, and love – is perfect, well almost perfect as Dr. Amelia Davis, an archeologist and a best-selling novelist, is about to find out. She arrives at a Chateau in France under orders from her agent to write because for the last eight months, since leaving the wedding chapel alone, she hasn’t written a single solitary worthwhile word. But here, in the small French village of Chinon, among the misty green meadows and the grape filled vines, she hopes to find the inspiration she needs. Surprisingly, her motivation arrives in two very different ways – the mysterious innkeeper Étienne and the famous ghostlike figure of the “Lady in White” who’s said to roam the Chateau’s grounds at night. Why? No one knows.

The ruins of an 11th century castle under the Chateau could hold the secret. With Étienne’s help, Amelia rediscovers her love of archeology as she unearths an 11th century crypt which holds the eerily silent tombs of high-ranking knights. A red rose, so fresh and beautiful, lying on a knight’s effigy, pricks Amelia’s finger and begins her travels back to the 11th century where she discovers that the ethereal lady’s mystery is more far-reaching than she first thought.

Will her overzealous pursuit of the truth cause her to lose Étienne? Or will it be the hurt of her ex’s cheating that keeps her from trusting any man? And can she allow herself to love a man who lives a world apart from her not only in distance, but culture and background as well?

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I have to say that I totally enjoyed writing this story - when I started out, I only knew that I wanted to return to the Chateau in Chinon that I had stayed in a number of years ago.  They had a story of a grizzly ghost but the setting and the legend intrigued me.  Usually I start and then come to a point where I don't know which way the story or the characters are heading, but with "Tales of the Silent', I never stopped writing until I had to make that decision of "The End" or... did I want to write a sequel?  I totally love these two characters (as well as the supporting cast) and decided not to end it. 
I think I wondered would Amelia and Étienne make it? Could they weather a long-distance relationship?  If she went with Michel on another dig, is it possible she'd meet someone else?  Or would he meet someone while she was away? How strong was their love?So, I decided I had no ending for this book and began the next "Dr. Amelia Davis Novel"!!  Not sure I'll be able to let them go even in the next novel... I guess we'll have to see!  Thanks for you support!Judi

    5.0 out of 5 stars The visual translation from words to images .

    The author Judith Getch Brodman is a college classmate of mine and when I saw she just released her latest book I couldn’t wait to read it. The book kept my interest from first page to last. So much so I read it in 12 hours. It was like watching a Hallmark movie. The visualization was incredible. The story concept and execution was so creative and I loved the little unexpected details that were woven throughout the book. E.G brand names of clothing the characters wore including colors and patterns. This just added to the readers ability to visualize the setting and story line. The book had momentary slow times but for the most part moved along well from start to finished. Certainly kept my interest and attention. I’m looking forward to reading The Looking Glass Labyrinth which I just ordered. The author is not only a masterful writer but also an extremely talented 2 dimensional and prolific artist. Congratulations on a great book.

    I loved this book - the characters, the setting all drew me in and kept me entertained till the end! The characters talked to me the entire way and the beauty of the French countryside made me feel like I was there. Can't wait for the next Dr. Amelia Davis novel! Soon please!
