I read some good books in recent years in this area; Michel Bussi but is distinguished by the romantic side
romantic-policeman. Hard work that reconnect three.
A curious but very sèrieux mixture.
For some reason, I'd say that (even ridicule me, nothing to fear as it does not kill) the book is a mix of the era of Jean de Meung and Mahaut de Courtenay Maurice Leblanc with a bottom rear Dennis Lehane; nothing else!
Romantic, sure.
Policeman, its reason for being.
Intriguing to wish for the author of the novel Shutter Island (Lehane).
If the story is simple, all just going willingly remind us "Snow in mourning" of Troyat!
Plane crashes in the mountains but there are no survivors, there is a miracle; a small living doll on two dolls mounted in the aircraft.
It is necessary to identify which child is alive: an Vitral his name, an Carville its possible name.
Families are total opposites of wealth and poverty; wealth allows to hire a private detective renowned "Gullible Grand Duke" (well, why not ...) to prove that line is the little survivor.
Throughout the novel the author and his narrators will make us live minute by minute Detective newspaper. The case would again be simple if a love story of an ancient time (why I quoted these medieval authors) story that could well end with the finding of an incestuous relationship! History which still disturbs and embellish this already beautiful pages and rich novel.
To discover absolutely, certainly a "turn pager" that like a good wine is drunk to the dregs of the plug without stopping while taking his time.
Happy reading and do not miss it because it would be a mess!
