Raffin had a certain style, in his deportment, the clothes he wore, the items he had chosen to furnish his apartment. It is farfetched at times but, after a while, I came to accept this and was happy to roll with the tides.

There is none of the flashbacks that made up a good part of the Lewis books but there was still the rich descriptions of the country and history that seems to be Peter May's trademark. 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.The white board approach to solving the crime was fun and interesting, it gave insight as to how connections were being made between the clues. It’s not my normal fare when it comes to crime teccy but Im sure it’ll appeal too many with its easy going ways. Enzo comes to Paris to meet journalist Roger Raffin, the author of a book on seven celebrated unsolved murders, the assumption being that Gaillard is dead. However, having said that, I do expect to see more maturity and depth to this character as the series progresses, and I look forward to the next one with great anticipation.

Adam Killian's study has been left intact since his death - the perfect state for Enzo Macleod's forensic investigation. Registered address: Unit 31, Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF, United kingdom. On top of all that, he has the two daughters, one who is vying for his attention and the other who wants him to drop dead.His own feet slip and clatter as he scrambles through an alley between buttresses, heart squeezed by the hand of desperation. Peter May is wonderful at setting the scene, yet with this one he is merely flaunting his travelling budget. At the end of the church, ninety silvered organ pipes rise in shining columns to the figure of Christ Resuscitated, flanked by two angels. My to-read list is somewhat out of hand meaning some things sit on the list for longer than they really should.

This was a buddy read with my Goodreads friend Sue D who also enjoys Peter May’s writing, and I very much enjoyed our discussions as we read. The main character, Enzo, has already enjoyed an amazing life with two daughters by different mothers, a divorced wife, a dead mistress and a drastic career change resulting in moving to another country.

And as he rises and turns, the last thing he sees at the far end of the nave, before red turns to black, is a sign commanding him to SILENCE. He was derailed by his love for a woman that had him leaving one family in Scotland to start a new one in France.
