Every day throughout the month of April I will be posting across all of my social media about book 7 in the Jacques Forêt Mysteries. Check out the list of aspects in connection with the book on the right.
For the moment, all I'm going to tell you is that the title is Meyrueis. It's late summer and Lucien, Jacques Forêt's son, is in England staying with his grandmother and his uncles as the story begins. The timing is only a few weeks after the end of Mazargues. The crime featured in this book is a very different one from that in Mazargues. As such, it has been great fun doing all the research necessary for the story. And a lot more research that I will probably never use! But that's how it goes - you find an answer to one question which generates other questions and suddenly, your whole day has been spent in the library or on Google! I so love this job!
For the next story, there will be new characters along with Jacques, Didier and all of their old colleagues. There will be characters who return, as did one particular individual at the end of Mazargues. Check out the extract below :
and then…
A heavy postern gate
slammed shut behind a tall, broad-shouldered and muscled man. He swept his hand
through his thick silver-grey hair and donned a black fedora. He glanced across
at a waiting car, a silver Mercedes, and smiled. Striding out, he crossed the
open space, moved towards the car, opened the passenger door and got in.
“I’ll need a new
name,” he said.
There will be more about him during April!
