EN: Roquefort is a sheep milk cheese from the south of France, and together with Bleu d'Auvergne, Stilton, and Gorgonzola is one of the world's best known blue cheeses. If a refund or reimbursement is payable to you, we will transfer the money using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. The action takes the protagonists to several intriguing French locations, including the catacombes of Paris, the Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques in Toulouse, and the champagne caves (cellars) of Épernay. The quest will enable Macleod to put to use his background as a forensic scientist and apply modern techniques in assessing the evidence, such as it is. Without revealing the plot, it is has some of the best aspects of the tradition “cozy” mystery salted with bits of puzzles, romance and sexual situations for entertainment.
Peter May’s series featuring former forensics expert Enzo Macleod, a Scotsman living in France, started with Extraordinary People, first published in the USA in 2006 and now brought to a UK audience by Quercus. Deep in the catacombs below the City of Light, MacLeod unearths disturbing clues deliberately left behind by a killer. Entry Island was an interesting read, and whilst not up to the standard of the Lewis Trilogy it was still an enjoyable four stars. Overall, a very good whodunit, although I guessed the main villain early in the piece, and was kept waiting until nearly two-thirds through the book for Bertrand to use the metal detector.He turns beneath the nine metre span of the only remaining screen in all of Paris, a delicate tracery of stone carving and spiral staircase curling around slender columns soaring into blackness, and he stops beneath Christ on the cross, a calvary taken from the chapel of the Ècole Polytechnique to replace a predecessor destroyed during the Revolution. Enzo takes the bet and it’s not long before Enzo proves that the missing intellectual is not just missing but is indeed dead. Unfortunately it appears as though I’m working on a ‘read a Peter May book or series every twelve months’ schedule, but it is better late than never. He met the love of his life, and that lightning-strike moment has a tendency to create a before-and-after in most people’s lives who are fortunate enough to ever meet their soulmate. The French setting is attractive to me, and we certainly visit many attractions during the unravelling of the clues.
Looking back she realised she wasn't finished, so with her cantaloupe melons pushing against her shirt, she wrote more words in circles and drew arrows pointing to 'this book', 'predictable', 'one dimensional women', 'irritating daughters - who you don't mind dying', 'stereotypes', 'poorly written' and finally 'random unnecessary French words'. With buried body parts, cryptic clues and a chase around the French countryside, the book is a slightly odd mix of police procedural and Dan Brown-style conspiracy thriller.
Raffin had a certain style, in his deportment, the clothes he wore, the items he had chosen to furnish his apartment. The unsolved crime here revolves around Jacques Gaillard, once a prominent government figure lecturing at an elite institute that turns out presidents, cabinet ministers and captains of industry.
Adam Killian's study has been left intact since his death - the perfect state for Enzo Macleod's forensic investigation. A wager has left a forensic expert (that term is used loosely, as he has not really worked in the field for twenty years) on a quest to solve a notorious unsolved crime of France. Professor Enzo Macleod made a bet to find the killer of Jacques Gaillard using his investigative knowledge and forensic science techniques. At the end of the church, ninety silvered organ pipes rise in shining columns to the figure of Christ Resuscitated, flanked by two angels.The plot is undeniably cleverly-constructed, and although I didn’t make any serious attempt to follow the clues or check any of the workings out, it had a reasonable ring of authenticity. His life might be unduly complicated, but his mind is more alive than it has been in a long time, and the chase is becoming as beguiling as the charms of the alluring Charlotte. He grew up in Scotland, son of an Italian mother and a Scottish father and had a successful career as a Forensic Scientist with a wife and young daughter. an anti-China demonstration by the extreme religious group Falum Gong, whose leaser claimed to be a visitor from outer space.
The artifacts buried with the skull set him to interpreting the clues they provide and to following in someone's footsteps--maybe more than one someone--after the rest of Gaillard. of our deliveries are made by Royal Mail as we think they give the best service and cover all areas of the UK.
I enjoyed May’s series set on the Isle of Lewis, and this one perked my interest, being set in France and mentioning the Paris catacombs. Having set a new plan with my GR friend Jaline, who also enjoys reading books written by Peter May, we have begun his Enzo series starting with Extraordinary People. The brilliant teacher who trained some of Frances best and brightest at the École Nationale d'Administration vanished ten years ago.
