An extraordinary novel
It's not difficult to see why Guillaume Musso sells more books than any other French author (33 million so far). He is a cynical romantic who loves wrongfooting his readers. Here, the breathless game of cherchez-la-femme starts in a deserted, Covid-ravaged Paris, moves on to Venice and Beirut, before returning to France: "the most bureaucratic, Kafkaesque country in the world". The peculiar atmosphere of each city is described with economic precision. Il est bien fait!
We are caught up in the waltz of these characters
A stunning storyline
Gripping
France's best-selling author never disappoints and this sinister tale of a former policeman who takes on the case of the disappearance of a young woman's mother is as good as anything Musso has done. Nothing is what it seems
Don't believe those who tell you they saw the end coming
