Title: La Mala Hora - Gabriel Garcia Marquez - book Summary : "A Colombian village, which experienced civil war, has lived in peace since the mayor restored order through terror. But one evening, the first anonymous leaflets appear on a few doors. The one read by César Montero immediately leads him to kill. And the leaflets multiply, sowing discord in families, rekindling hatred, awakening in everyone's memory the schemes, the exactions, the crimes committed in the past. Father Angel, initially indifferent, finally asks the mayor to take authoritative action in the face of this "case of terrorism against moral order." Nothing prevents the leaflets from proliferating. The mayor decides to return to repression. The false peace is over; the village has returned to its daily hell. A mixture of apathy and violence that leaves an aftertaste of blood and despair in our minds. A powerful novel. Valérie Hanotel, Le Figaro Madame .

Title: Strange Suicide in a Low-Mileage Red Fiat - LC Tyler - book Summary : You can never do better than do it yourself. When his ex-wife, Geraldine, disappears, Ethelred decides to use his detective skills to find her. There's a small problem: Ethelred, a professional writer, has his knowledge of crime from detective novels that sprang from his imagination, which has also vanished a while ago. What better way to find inspiration than a real-life investigation? From false leads to stunning revelations, reality far surpasses fiction... "We wonder in this investigation who is leading us on the most: Ethelred, Geraldine, or the author. The detective novel, for its part, has just found its Monty Python."
