• Author Graeme Macrae Burnet
• Year 2017

There does not appear to be anything remarkable about the fatal car crash on the A35. But one question dogs Inspector Georges Gorski: where has the victim, an outwardly austere lawyer, been on the night of his death? The troubled Gorski finds himself drawn into a mystery that takes him behind the respectable veneer of the sleepy French backwater of Saint-Louis.

Thoughts

I didn’t really understand this book. The surround of the book, was that real or not? About the writer sending it before committing suicide? And then the story itself - it was very readable, engagingly written, with terrible characters that you sort of love to hate. But it all came to an ending very quickly and it sort of turned out that nothing had happened anyway? All a bit odd.
