In the 1960s the French Algerian War came to an end when many “French” families were repatriated to France even though their families hadn’t lived in France for generations. They still loved Algeria and lost all their roots (and generations of buried ancestors). This book is about hostilities that still linger from the French still living who love #Algeria. This was probably a good book if I could have made out the plot more easily.

I do NOT recommend the audio version of this book. The narrator does not distinguish voices well between characters so it often sounds like the same character talking to himself. There are also lots of jumps in time and between places within chapters and the narrator doesn’t so much as pause between them so it can be downright confusing.… (más)

Not as good as the first novel (for me) as it covered a topic I'm not that interested in, although it did explain why I found the French to be least tolerant of Arab Africans than others when I lived there (the French Algerian war). Good plotting, still enjoy the husband/father role of the protagonist.

A police investigator whose family is very important to him. A refreshing read from a "family man's" point of view. Author's description of the French Riviera in summer puts you there. Plot is interesting and writing quickly pulls you through the story. Will read his other novels. Really liked protagonist.
