In this gripping novel by Graeme Macrae Burnet, a respectable lawyer in a small Alsatian town, Bertrand Barthelme, dies in a mysterious car accident in the middle of the night. When Inspector Georges Gorski delivers the news to his widow, she shows little emotion, which arouses the investigator's suspicions. As Gorski delves into the seemingly exemplary life of the couple, he uncovers a web of secrets and stifled lives on the brink of collapse, revealing that the flaw is never far from normality. Following the success of 'The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeau', the author once again demonstrates his mastery in dissecting human psychology in ordinary settings. With an oppressive atmosphere and a style reminiscent of Simenon's precision, this work is an essential psychological thriller that explores loneliness and appearances in 1970s France.
