review 1: I really enjoyed this book. So much so I promptly went out and bought the sequel which I just finished. The plots are quite complex. The characters extremely interesting. It plays right into my love of history and crime.A perfect series. Until I read that Penguin was no longer interested in proceeding with the series. I read a blog entry by the author dated May, 2012 advising his writers of this. What a real shame and a big mistake of the publisher given that this book has been short listed for awards and has become a major hit in, of all places, France. I will look forward to other books by the same author and sincerely hope that some publisher realizes what a gem of a series this is.
review 2: J'ai fait une petite pause dans ma lecture d'un gros pavé que je
... moren'arrive pas à avancer pour lire celui-ci. J'ai bien fait, je l'ai dévoré en à peine deux jours. Un polar qui se déroule à Londres et dont l'enquête est résolue grâce à la généalogie, ça ne pouvait que me plaire. J'ai trouvé que c'était bien écrit, les personnages sont attachants, l'histoire originale. Vraiment très sympa.Du coup je suis allée chercher le deuxième tome à la bibliothèque et j'ai même vu qu'il y en avait un troisième sorti il y a quelques mois. less
