Who killed Lucy Davis?
by Christos Markogiannakis, published on May 5, 2022 by Éditions Plon.
His favorite quote:
“From the first moment, Nissos won me over.
Its energy is said to bind you forever or push you away once and for all.
Me, I was bound.
By his energy, but also by my action.
By the secret we shared.

Why this book?
Because I flew far from France, far from my daily life
while reading this novel.
In a disturbing climatic atmosphere, the author transports us to the heart of a joyful investigation.
As I learned more about the lies, the secrets, my suspicions intensified but at no time did I guess the end of the story.
Well written with skillfully drawn characters, a reading whose pace remains constant.
Because it's an ideal novel in this summer period,
the decor, the atmosphere, everything is there to make us have a great time reading.
The plot is engaging with a little air of the Roaring Twenties, in Agatha Christie fashion.
It will delight all fans.
The author has managed to transpose the classic
They were ten
into a thriller with an equally unexpected ending.
