Angélique

It's not difficult to see why Guillaume Musso sells more books than any other French author (33 million so far). He is a cynical romantic who loves wrongfooting his readers. Here, the breathless game of cherchez-la-femme starts in a deserted, Covid-ravaged Paris, moves on to Venice and Beirut, before returning to France: "the most bureaucratic, Kafkaesque country in the world". The peculiar atmosphere of each city is described with economic precision. Il est bien fait! * The Times *
France's best-selling author never disappoints and this sinister tale of a former policeman who takes on the case of the disappearance of a young woman's mother is as good as anything Musso has done. Nothing is what it seems * Daily Mail *
A stunning storyline * RTL *
Don't believe those who tell you they saw the end coming * La Voix du Nord *
An extraordinary novel * Ouest France *
We are caught up in the waltz of these characters * L'Alsace *
Gripping * Le Journal du dimanche *
