Monsieur Lecoq is a captivating mystery, historical and love story :

Around 11 o'clock, on the evening of Shrove Sunday 18.., close to the old Barrière d'Italie, frightful cries, coming from Mother Chupin's drinking-shop, are heard by a party of detectives led by Inspector Gévrol. The squad runs up to it. A triple murder has just been committed. The murderer is caught on the premises.

Despite Gévrol's opinion that four scoundrels encountered each other in this vile den, that they began to quarrel, that one of them had a revolver and killed the others, Lecoq, a young police agent, suspects a great mystery.

He will lead his investigation until he gets to the bottom of it. The story takes us in the dark times of France after the Revolution and in the Terror, and finds its roots in a story of love and power. (Summary by Ezwa, expanded by Nadine) (11 hr 21 min)

This book is very good and is an excellent example of a detective story. Most of the readers are very good though I wish the last reader wouldn't of had such a strong accent. I can't wait to read the next part.


(4 stars)

Good story. Some difficulty keeping track of all the French names. Complicated, but interesting last few chapters. Very capable readers who do well with the French words throughout.
