" A murder mystery involving the lust for words as a motive for crime finds detective Jean-Pierre Foucheroux investigating the murder of the President of the Proust Society and discovering that a missing Proust manuscript had been found and lost again. "

Good read - a mystery set in the cozy world (not!) of literary endeavors, in which the author (Elyane Dezon-Jones) works.
There is a second mystery in this series. If they are in it, I would like to see what happens to the two police officers. Interesting characters.

Yes, this was quite an enjoying whodunit, made particularly interesting by the setting: the academic and literary circles and the Paris region. Thanks for sharing, eicuthbertson!

Oh, dear, could I be the winner?
Thanks for this fantastic box you put together for me.
This seems like an interesting read.
From the back cover: "...even the minor roles are fleshed out to perfection, as in one of Hitchcok's thrillers". Intriguing!
Thank you, looking forward to reading it... :)

I enjoyed this novel because of all the petty rivalries and academic snobbery of the characters, mixed in with the intricacies of small town / village life. It was good fun. Thanks for sharing this one. I hope to get it travelling again soon.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Set free in the LFL which was looking a bit bare. It's the festival so we have a lot of international visitor just now, so fingers crossed for a journal entry. Happy reading!

I did enjoy this book. I do not know much about Proust, but this doesn't affect the enjoyment of this book. Only criticism is that the ending was a little quick, there was room for a few red herrings or another twist.
