(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. :) (  ) bburke79 | Nov 14, 2009 |  The characters are uninteresting and a bit one dimensional. Too many characters, and a very weak plot. In this book there is material to write an interesting historical novel about the lady in blue, it is a pity that the author has chosen to mix the story with a contemporary one. (  ) alalba | Mar 13, 2009 | 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.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 141654948X, Paperback)Javier Sierra, autor del bestseller internacional LA CENA SECRETA,nos ofrece ahora una novela de misterio e intriga sobre una de lasleyendas más antiguas y extrañas de América -la dama azul. En Los Ángeles, Jennifer Narody, antigua espía del Departamento de Defensa, sueña repetidamente con una fantasmagórica mujer vestida de azul. Jennifer no lo sabe, pero ese mismo espíritu se apareció más de tres siglos atrás a los jefes de una tribu indígena de Nuevo México. Al parecer, la verdadera responsable de aquellos sucesos fue una monja española que podía "bilocarse" -esto es, que tenía la habilidad de estar en dos lugares a la vez. Mientras, en España, una nevada deja aislado al periodista Carlos Albert en el remoto pueblo de Ágreda. Allí conocerá el convento que fundó en el siglo XVII aquella mujer de hábitos azules. Intrigado por sus poderes, decide investigar. Estos hilos, unidos por el presunto suicidio de un sacerdote en Roma, llevarán a Carlos hasta Los Ángeles, donde las pesadillas de Jennifer Narody guardan la clave de un misterio que la Iglesia Católica, el Departamento de Defensa de los Estados Unidos y otras misteriosas fuerzas de las que es mejor no hablar, están empeñados en ocultar. El secreto de las bilocaciones de la dama azul está en juego. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:52 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
