Omschrijving
The delightful first title in a new series - a fast-paced comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books.
This book is light, funny and erudite: a delight
The Mystery of Henri Pick is so ridiculously French that if it started smoking Gitanes while you read it, you wouldn't be entirely surprised
A charming, quirky addition to the whimsical subgenre of books about book lovers, done with a light Gallic touch
A dull pizza chef becomes the author of an unlikely bestseller in this charming novel about the literary life
A charming literary caper... A playfully droll satire of the French publishing scene and a completely delightful jeu d'esprit
An elegant, irresistibly farcical comic mystery based around a library of rejected manuscripts, Foenkinos's playful satire is the perfect feelgood read. An ideal novel for bibliophiles everywhere, The Mystery of Henri Pick abounds with Gallic wit and charm
Just the ticket
A sparkling comedy. A novel to be devoured, which also examines the curious relationship between readers and books
The Mystery of Henri Pick manages the great gap between levity and profundity, between humour and seriousness. A beautiful farce
Mischievous, spirited and entertaining... David Foenkinos's new novel is a triumph
A satirical comedy constructed like a literary thriller. David Foenkinos celebrates book lovers and the power of words
