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. (  )thejohnsmith | Aug 22, 2008 | didn't want to put this intriguing book down. (  )Phoppock | Jul 7, 2008 | Fiction, Portugal Setting jdhake | Jun 6, 2008 | 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. ( )debs4jc | May 29, 2008 | 0.038 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
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.
