I chose this rating because this novel is very well written, the French language is a treasure and we must use it. I do not read much crime fiction but it given back to me the desire to read. in this novel I loved the suspense lasts until the end, the story of the Roman touched me. I am a big fan of Mr. Pierre-Jean Arsigny as an artist and that he is writing a book does not surprise me at all because-he has great talent for writing and I hope this is not the last. I recommend this novel to the whole world really even those who can not finish a book will be forced to finish this one because it is very addictive and is waiting to be read a second time.
