pickMy favorite French detective is back with another visit to Bretagne and awesome food and place descriptions. One thing to note is that there is a dog death in this book, so if this is too upsetting for you, be warned.
I love how the inspector always gets to solve the crime in 3 days. In fact, the books are structured as day 1, day 2, and day 3. Cute!!!
pickA weak pick. I liked the mystery and loved the Provence setting, but had some trouble getting used to the snobbish main character. Still, I enjoyed this novel enough that I plan to continue the series.

This historical fiction features many old Hollywood stars such as Cary Grant whose estate was included on my recent architecture tour.
We are nothing but perpetual animals. What‘s the use of these huge fragile enthusiasms, these dried-out leaps of joy? We know nothing but dead stars; we look at faces; and we sigh with pleasure. Our eyes turn aimlessly, hopelessly. There‘s nothing now but these cafés where we meet to drink these cold beverages, these mixed drinks, and the tables are stickier than these sidewalks where our dead shadows from the day before have fallen.

pickI liked this so much more than I thought I would - I‘d read mixed reviews and didn‘t love The Flamethrowers. But it was in my Strand fiction subscription box last year, so I felt like I should give it a try. I knew it would be contemplative so slowing down my reading really helped me appreciate it more, and I actually found it to be quite engaging in the end.
