Smashwords book reviews by Linda Hamonou

  • Murder at Malenfer on Oct. 07, 2014

    This book is everything at once: an historical novel, a romance, a ghost story, a mystery and a story of a man who overcome his past, guilt and trauma. There is a lot to learn from this book and it was a really good and pleasant read. I was really fond of the main character Dermot for being himself despite adversity. I liked Sophie for being weak, Simonne for being different, Madame for acting as expected, Emile for being the nice twin, Arthur for being alive even as a dead man. And I hated Crevel, Pierre and Gustave. All the characters have very different personalities and it's easy to relate to them or to find their characteristic in your friends. The little part that didn't work for me was the explanation of the murder case. It seemed to be a lot of details missing and I would have loved to have a more palpable "how it was done?" answer. There were also some part that seemed a bit blurry in my mind and I had trouble to see what exactly was happening. I enjoyed the setting and the fact that it was set in France and that the main character was Irish. That part talked a lot to me and it was done just right. I would recommend this book to all fans of mystery and historical fiction.
