A few words about the author :

Curiosity. He admits it, he is curious. Inhabited by this irrepressible desire to go and see what's on the other side of the wall, at the end of the street, beyond the horizon. To contemplate the beauty of the world, to understand what's inside the heads of my fellow human beings. And reading of course, which allows me to explore these infinite horizons without moving. This is what drives him since childhood, and which led him to study agronomy, geography, economics, and philosophy. To lead a career as a diplomat in a large international organization and to travel all over the world. And now to take up the pen to share his discoveries.

Quelques mots sur l'auteur :

La curiosité. Il l'avoue, il est curieux. Habité par cette envie irrépressible d’aller voir ce qu’il y a de l’autre côté du mur, au bout de la rue, au-delà de l’horizon. De contempler la beauté du monde, de comprendre ce qu’il y a dans la tête de mes semblables. Et la lecture bien sûr, qui permet d’explorer ces horizons infinis sans se déplacer. Voilà ce qui l’anime depuis l’enfance, et qui l’a conduit à faire des études aussi diverses qu’agronomie, géographie, économie, enfin philosophie. A mener une carrière de diplomate dans une grande organisation internationale et voyager aux quatre coins du monde. Et maintenant à prendre la plume pour partager ses découvertes.

Résumé :

Summary :

When his mother dies, Thomas Ramier is stunned to discover that she has bequeathed a large sum of money to his father's murderer, in reparation, she says, for a "moral debt". The father, Paul Ramier, tragically disappeared during a trip abroad, in circumstances that remain partly obscure. Thomas understands that his parents have hidden an important part of the family history from him. He decides to clarify both the reasons for his father's trip and the mystery surrounding his death. He discovers that another tragedy, 20 years old and more than 8000 km away, is at the origin of the second one, and that the culprit may not be the one we think.

Following the narrator step by step, the reader is invited to explore the meanders of memory, the painful path of conscience and the notion of responsibility. In the background, the realities of a small country subjected to American imperialism and plagued by endemic violence.

Ma chronique :

Je tiens à remercier les éditions Librinova pour m'avoir permis de lire ce livre.

On y retrouve Thomas qui apprend suite au décès de sa mère qu'elle a tout léguer au meurtrier de son père pour réparer ses dettes. Son père avait disparu mystérieusement lors d'un voyage à l'étranger. Thomas se doute que ses parents lui ont bien cacher des choses. Il va donc décider d'en savoir plus sur le meurtre de Paul Ramier son père. Il apprendra qu'un autre drame survenu vingt ans plus tôt sera à l'origine du meurtre de son père et que le coupable est loin d'être celui que tout le monde pense.

Un livre lu d'une traite tellement j'ai de suite accroché à l'histoire si prenante, captivante, addictive, remplie d'intrigues, de suspens et de rebondissements avec des personnages attachants. J'adore la plume de l'auteur.

My review :

I would like to thank the Librinova publishing house for allowing me to read this book.

We find Thomas who learns after the death of his mother that she has left everything to the murderer of his father to repair his debts. His father had disappeared mysteriously during a trip abroad. Thomas suspects that his parents have hidden things from him. He decides to find out more about the murder of his father Paul Ramier. He learns that another tragedy that occurred twenty years earlier was the cause of his father's murder and that the culprit is far from being who everyone thinks.

A book read in one sitting, I was immediately hooked on the story so gripping, captivating, addictive, full of intrigue, suspense and twists with endearing characters. I love the author's writing.
