| France 1943. Vichy
France is now occupied France. Though the war carries on, so does
murder. Detectives Jean -Louis St.-Cyr of the Surete and Hermann
Kohler of the Gestapo are brought in to investigate the murders of
four young, beautiful women, all of whom are the mistresses of high
up officials.All have been murdered in different ways. As they
investigate St.Cyr and Kohl find corruption at every turn and some
people would rather they were not on the case at all. An unusual
premise. I liked the characters, who worked well together, but the
plotting could have been tightened up. At first it appeared that
this was about the murder of one woman then suddenly it entered
serial killer land. With a bit more work this author could be a
major player. Worth checking out. |
