My review :
A big thank you to M+ éditions for sending me this book, which was another "coup de cœur". The author has won me over again with this book, and once you're in the story you won't let go until it's over, with his fluid writing and addictive style.
The characters don't know each other, yet they have the same tattoo on their arms. Françoise has been looking for her friend Clara for some time, except that one morning she finds herself in a cell full of insects. As for Monsieur Concerto, he wonders why he's been committed, and Charles isolates himself of his own free will. As they fight their way out, they realize that appearances can sometimes be deceiving.
I read this book in one go, so engrossed was I in the story that it was so captivating, addictive, gripping, full of intrigue, suspense and twists and turns, with very endearing characters.
If you like psychological thrillers, detective stories or detective novels, I can only recommend this book.
