I know this book has received some glowing reviews, but mine won't be among them. I really didn't get a feel for the detective Victor Legris. He seemed to be all over the place and not much of a detective. Characters streamed in and out of the scenes with little or no development. Even the victim was gone before we had a chance to care about her. I read about half the book, which was too much, before I dropped it. ( ) The Pere Lachaise Mystery by Claude Izner - good Now this was the book I wanted to read when I picked up the first three in the series. The first one I found disappointing. This one was much better and vindicated my original choice. This is the second in a series of mystery (possibly 'cosy' genre) novels set in Fin de siècle Paris featuring Victor Legris, a bookseller, and his various family and friends. A much better mystery and possibly a better translation as it was less clunky than the first book. Victor's ex-mistress has been widowed and then mysteriously disappears. Her maid runs to Victor for help and initially he ignores what she is saying, presuming that his ex-mistress is away on a tryst of some nature. Regardless he agrees to help the girl, but when she too disappears he gets involved in the mystery. Not great literature, but a pleasant enough read and much better than the first one. I have less qualms about reading the third (currently on mount TBR) at some point in the future. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
When a maid turns up drowned in the Seine, and a widow's corpse is found buried in an overgrown backyard, Victor Legris throws himself into his second investigation, aided by his trusty assistant Joseph and much to his lover Tasha's chagrin. Set in 1890's Paris, a smoky, sinister world full of predatory mediums and a ghoulish public. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
