A blackmail letter? But why blackmail a former nurse? What did she see? Is there a link between his murder and the death of his old friend, Clothilde Ardouin de Meignan, widow of the last officer of the 5th Chasseurs à Cheval Regiment? How to explain that the son Ardouin de Meignan was found dead on the stairs of the family home?
The investigation is led by Sybille Garcia who discovers, over the course of her findings, the personality of her neighbour, her past and above all her friends from the Gour de l’Arche book club.
A nurse in the garden
We discover this nurse, dead, in a garden near the Maurilloux. You will also stroll around Barnabé, at the Saint-Georges cemetery.
It is the neighbor who will discover the body. She will search the house, and discover things that will question her.
Nelly Sanchez was inspired by her little garden, and all the thrillers she likes to read. She tried her hand at gender, and it was an exercise that she liked. She was also inspired by known settings or situations like emptying a house, going to the police station. But Nelly Sanchez reassures us “I have never found a corpse and I have never committed murder!“.
The following ?
Many readers asked for a sequel, and Nelly Sanchez accepted. Périgueux will be present again, but not only, since the action will mainly take place in Terrasson!
