Critics Review
-
“This highly effective novel can be devoured in one sitting. It tells the story of Marceau Miller, a successful writer who falls while climbing in the French Alps and never recovers. Was it an accident? His wife Sarah is convinced otherwise. All the more so when she discovers her husband has left behind a final manuscript that she must track down if she is to know the truth. What follows is a fast-paced investigation that doesn’t leave the reader a minute’s peace.”
Sandrine Bajos, Le Parisien
