Title : Salt - Jussi Adler-Olsen - book Summary : Carl Mørck and the Department V team delve back into an unsolved case from the 1980s. They discover to their shock that, for the past thirty years, a particularly cunning killer has been choosing a victim with frightening regularity and eliminating them by disguising the murder as an accident or suicide.

Against the backdrop of health restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Mørk and his accomplices embark on an investigation of a magnitude they had no idea they would have. A tightly woven thriller by Danish virtuoso Jussi Adler-Olsen, who explores ethics and morality in a novel as intelligent as it is political.

Title : Resolving to Say Goodbyes - Philippe Besson - book Summary : Besson revisits the epistolary novel with a rare elegance of mastery. On a universal theme (separation), he offers an invitation to travel, a testimony on the invisible violence of romantic breakups, and an ode to the writing that saves. When the man she loves leaves her for another woman, Louise decides to flee Paris. But neither the trip nor the exoticism of Cuba are enough to dispel her grief, to divert her thoughts from her lover. In order to maintain contact with him, however trivial and masochistic it may be, Louise decides to write him a series of letters, like throwing bottles into the sea. From Havana, New York, Venice, the Orient Express, and even Paris, where her exile ends, a single-voice correspondence is born, implacably honest and poignant. It combines memories of happy times, the beginnings of a breakup, the heartbreak of abandonment, and the despair of solitude. Soon, it becomes clear to Louise: the true recipient of these letters is none other than herself. Throughout this process, the possibility of healing emerges... Philippe Besson likes to impose formal constraints on himself to provide a framework for his fiction. By reappropriating the genre of the epistolary novel, he makes each letter a meditation on love, the couple, the loss of the absent one, the solitude necessary for self-reconstruction... And demonstrates that all work of mourning necessarily involves words. Besson's unique style, both dense and lyrical, is complemented by an admirable ability to embrace a feminine sensibility. With this optimistic novel, the author of A Moment of Abandonment deliberately breaks with the darkness of his last writings.

Title: Nothing Stands in the Way of the Night - Delphine de Vigan - book Summary : Elle Roman Readers' Prize 2012 - FNAC Novel Prize 2011 - France Télévisions Roman Prize 2011 - Renaudot High School Students' Prize 2011 "The pain of Lucile, my mother, was part of our childhood and later of our adult life, Lucile's pain undoubtedly constitutes us, my sister and me, but any attempt at explanation is doomed to failure. Writing can do nothing about it, at most it allows me to ask questions and to question memory. Lucile's family, ours therefore, has given rise to many hypotheses and commentaries throughout its history. The people I met during my research speak of fascination; I often heard it said in my childhood. My family embodies the noisiest, most spectacular aspects of joy, the tireless echo of the dead, and the reverberation of disaster. Today I also know that it illustrates, like so many other families, the destructive power of the Word, and that of silence. The book, perhaps, would be nothing other than that, the story of this quest, would contain within itself its own genesis, its narrative wanderings, its unfinished attempts. But it would be this impulse, from me towards her, hesitant and unfinished. In this dazzling investigation into the heart of family memory, where the most luminous memories rub shoulders with the most buried secrets, it is all our lives, our flaws and our own wounds that Delphine de Vigan powerfully unravels.
