Sinopse

In "Monsieur Lecoq" by Émile Gaboriau, we are taken on a thrilling journey through the darkness of crime and the intricacies of detective work. Gaboriau expertly weaves together a complex web of clues and motives, keeping the reader guessing until the very end. Set in the mid-19th century, this novel is a prime example of early detective fiction, paving the way for the popular mystery genre we know today. The narrative is engaging and fast-paced, with vivid descriptions that bring the Parisian streets to life.

His own experiences as a journalist and crime reporter influenced his writing, giving him unique insight into the criminal mind. This background is evident in his vivid portrayal of investigative techniques and psychological depth. I highly recommend "Monsieur Lecoq" to any reader who enjoys a gripping mystery filled with suspense and intrigue. Gaboriau's masterful storytelling and intricate plot twists will keep you turning the pages until the very end.

Six passengers in a locked train carriage. One of them is dead. No one saw a thing. 
 
Former Detective Hillary Greene is off on holiday. For a blissful two weeks, her life will be free of murder victims, murder suspects — and, best of all, no paperwork. She’s heading for the beautiful Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye, where she plans to spend her time browsing old bookshops and generally relaxing. 
 
Hillary arrives at the picturesque Riverside Inn where the other guests are an eclectic bunch: a charming Irishman, a rich American and his spoilt daughter, a thrice-married Canadian influencer, a wealthy widow and a taciturn taxidermist. 
 
The next day, Hillary and her fellow guests set off on a steam train ride through the stunning Cambrian Mountains. But when the train arrives at its final destination, not all the passengers get off. 
 
One of them has been stabbed neatly and cleanly through the heart. 
 
Which of the five passengers who shared the carriage is the killer? And how come no one saw a thing . . . ?
