'When the manuscript of a debut crime novel arrives at a Parisian publishing house, everyone in the readers room is convinced its something special. And the committee for Frances highest literary honour, the Prix Goncourt, agrees.
But when the shortlist is announced, theres a problem for editor Violaine Lepage: she has no idea of the authors identity. As the police begin to investigate a series of murders strangely reminiscent of those recounted in the book, Violaine is not the only one looking for answers. And, suffering memory blanks following an aeroplane accident, shes beginning to wonder what role she might play in the story
Antoine Laurain, bestselling author of The Red Notebook, combines intrigue and charm in this dazzling novel of mystery, love and the power of books.'
Goodreads
There are two phases of discussion. The first begins immediately and may contain conversations about anything pre-completion of the selection including reading progress, section thoughts, outside info, etc. The second begins on the 1st and also includes anything post-completion. These are recommended to help us discuss things in a similar timeframe but anyone can discuss any part or aspect at any time.
This is the MR Literary Club selection for April 2021. Everyone is welcome so feel free to start or join in the conversation at any time; the more the merrier! :)
