Author Introduction
Rachel Green is the pen name of a writer from the UK. Rachel has twice been longlisted for both the Bath Novel Award and the BPA First Novel Award, as well as being on the shortlist for the Capital Crime New Voices Award. Rachel lives in a tiny village in England, but travels frequently to the south of France where the stories from the Madame Renard Investigates series are set.
Blurb
When the bodies of five men are discovered in a secret vault at the villa Belle Époque, suspicion falls upon the villa’s former owner, enigmatic Pascal Deveraux. Actor, gambler, general good-for-nothing - Pascal has lived a life of privilege and excess. But with no evidence to implicate him in murder, the case goes unsolved.
Called in to investigate the cold case, it’s not long before Margot’s enquiries re-open old wounds. Aided by policière municipale, Alia Leon, the investigation moves swiftly from the smugglers’ trails of the Pyrenees to the cannabis clubs of Barcelona. And it’s there, in the dark medieval streets of the city’s Gothic Quarter, that someone finds a reason to silence her.
My Opinion
Five Dead Men by Rachel Green is the first book that I have read by the author. Indeed, a good recipe for a mystery thriller plot. The story starts with a mysterious tone and sparks interest right away. I must say that It is really a page turner. A short read to finish within a day. Although, by the time it reaches climax the plot slows down. But, in the end it picks up pace and ends well. The characters are good, but I felt that the villain should have been painted more of a black. The character somewhere loses its glory and nature. Otherwise, The book is really enjoyable and entertaining.
Definitely, 4 stars for the book. Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
