Location: Guadeloupe
Murders today on a Caribbean island which has a horrific history of slavery, due to the fact that Napoleon ruled to continue the practice of slavery in Guadeloupe, a territory of France, even after the official abolition of slavery in the 19th century.
Someone wants to bring this history to
light by leaving dead bodies on the monuments that
had been erected to honor the brutal slave enforcers of that time.
Island police and French police try to solve the murders in this murder mystery thriller.
Island magic and traditions and the setting make this novel more interesting.

I admire you can read it in French and have always been sorry I didn't learn a language earlier in life. There is an author i love - Valerie Perrin - and I have to wait for her books to be translated. there is a new one out called Tata but I can't read it.
ReplyDeleteI'm just about to start 'Sherlock Holmes & the Twelve Thefts of Christmas' by Tim Major. After that it'll be 'The Half Life of Valery K' by Natasha Pulley.
ReplyDeleteGood for you in reading Les Assassins de L'Aube in French. I want to try to read more in French. I bought three or four children's books this year that are in French, and I hope to read them in July, if all goes well.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being able to read French no matter how slowly. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
