Why this book?
Because I like to read books by Bernard Minier, an author
whom I appreciate for his breathtaking stories, which take us while reading them, to the confines of the limits imposed by society.
Because the vibe of this new thriller appealed to
me, like the cover that I thought was superb, giving me some chills that I also felt while reading this novel.
The essentials in 2 minutes
The plot.
A young man seems to be chased through a forest in the middle of the night.
His gaze reflects a visceral fear….
Characters.
Servaz, Chabrillac unbearable and not supporting being challenged, Sabrina the lawyer who immediately defines his scene of action, the prefect, the enigmatic ...
Places.
Toulouse and its surroundings, Ariège with its forest landscapes and this castle seeming to conceal mysteries, this oppressive atmosphere in a region that Bernard Minier knows for having stayed for studies.
The time.
2020, nowadays, and precisely during this particular period of confinement which only adds to the difficulty of the investigation.
The author.
Bernard Minier author who is no longer presented, former customs administrator who now marks the spirits with his thrillers which keep us in suspense.
This book was read with
an anguish that gripped me as soon as I read the first scene, which sets the scene.
I also very much appreciated the subtle reconciliation that Minier makes between the drift of our society, and this period of confinement which gives some the excuse of going beyond the limits.
