Knowing this author for these outstanding previous novels, I bought "black frames" eyes closed. The story of Alain Delambre framework unemployed for 4 years. The plot of the novel seemed very appealing. But what a disappointment !!! The main character endearing at first, we become more and more detestable in the pages. The long tangles of events which follow one another, we are indeed a draft narrative endless. I spend the pages so I was bored. FOr know a bland and predictable end. Or went the author of "Dress Groom" neat work "," Alex ", etc ???
