Le Disparu de Nantucket
by Laure Rollier, published on June 9, 2021 by Éditions Moissons noirs (La Geste).
Her favorite quote:
I might not be a good guy but that's no reason to hurt this woman and that's what I think awaits her when she finds out what her husband was up to behind her back.
Why this book?
Because if you like thrillers and cozy mysteries,
you are going to love this cozy murder.
The missing Nantucket mixes both the thriller in the Harlan Coben vein with the cozy mystery of MC Beaton.
Everything is well balanced to immerse us in a cozy and intimate atmosphere with a suspense that keeps you going.
Because you will quickly become attached to the two heroes.
On one side Maxime, the policeman, and on the other Alix, restaurateur.
Each is experiencing a drama that will bind them together and push them to understand what is happening.
Because we are almost in a closed room.
Indeed, most of the history is spent on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts.
Through the quest of the two heroes, we walk by the sea or cliffs with fantastic views.
A nice invitation to travel.
Because the suspense is at its height!
Laure Rollier shows us that she is capable of plunging the reader into an investigation where everyone can find who is the culprit.
She pushes us on several false tracks before offering us the revelation and a masterful finale.
Difficult to let go of the story before knowing the final outcome.

The author.
Laureate of Mazarine Book Day in 2017 with
Hâte-toi de vivre
, Laure Rollier has published another feel good novel, "We were marvelous", which has just been released in her pocket.
With "The missing from Nantucket", she tries her hand at the family thriller.
This book was read with
great pleasure and surprises.
Laure Rollier proves that she can write everything while offering a thriller worthy of the greatest by taking the reader from beginning to end.
I liked everything about the flow of the plot to the point of wanting to read it again.
A real success!
