Title : Black Water Lilies - Michel Bussi - Book

Summary :

"Three women lived in a village. The first was mean, the second was a liar, the third was selfish. Yet they had one thing in common, a secret of sorts: all three dreamed of running away..." An eleven-year-old girl with a gift for painting, a formidably attractive schoolteacher, and an old woman with owlish eyes who knows and sees everything form the starting point of the plot. In Giverny, Jérôme Morval, an ophthalmic surgeon and local boy, has been found murdered near the Epte River. For Laurenç Sérénac, fresh out of the Toulouse police academy, the suspect is obvious: Jacques Dupain, husband of the beautiful schoolteacher, Stéphanie. Could this case echo the murder of little Albert Rosalba, found dead in the same circumstances in 1937? The old woman who knows and sees everything, a narrator in her spare time, guides the reader through her wanderings in Giverny, and, little by little, confides: she alone holds the truth. But what truth? For in the reflection of a painting by an exceptional master, Water Lilies, past and present merge, murders and passions are resurrected when youth and death defy time...
