The Festival, Book 3 Virtus Saga

When Ylianor Meyer throws in Prince Duncan Caldwell's face his generous offer to adopt her into the Caldwell family, she has only one thought in mind--to get as far away from the stunningly gorgeous dark-haired prince and his equally striking blond-haired lover, Lord Christopher Templeton before she falls in love with them harder than she already is. Before she becomes their slave for real and surrenders to both without any shame. For each is a master in his own standing: one for pleasure, the other for pain.

Such is the new setting of the Virtus Saga, where nothing is as it seems. Not the world, since its all-pervading sex drive hides a scary lack of violence.

Review by LallaGatta – A Cat, a Man, and Two Women by Junichiro Tanizaki

Review by LallaGatta – The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau by Graeme Macrae Burnet

I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a good noir with a modern twist to it.

The most amazing aspect of this book wasn't the disappearance of Adèle Bedeau.

It was everything else!

From the setting to the characters, from the plot to the investigative techniques, this book smells and tastes like the great French noir classics but reads with the pace and beat of a modern book. This is probably the reason why I was plunged into another time and place from page one without any resistance on my part. And I enjoyed every minute of it!

Even more fascinating, there seems to be no clear-cut line between the policeman and the villain, as though one was the mirror image of the other. Both men appear to have the same quirks and insecurities, so that it's hard for readers to identify with one but not the other. And that's quite a unique experience for me who have read several crime novels in my 50+ years, also because it adds to the intrigues uncovered in the novel.
