The historical thrillers Philippe Bouin are really a success, as the "Straw Cross". He knows very well, in terms chosen, restore this ancient period of 17 - 18th century, there to develop its characters and to conduct its superbly intrigues. Therefore, all the ingredients for the jubilation of the player that, as with any good mystery book that respects itself, remains "hung" in the book until the denouement. For my part, I want more!
