She also notes that it is mostly marginalized people who evaporate or end up with their heads in the water. Let’s say that the colorful fauna is not lacking in the Ontario city, a swarm of characters, each more picturesque than the other, twirling around the protagonist: between Yiannis the king of real estate shenanigans, the uncontrollable Lotta, Paul , the flatmate whose life is regulated like clockwork, or even Carmen, the amateur journalist…
Among this string of names, one of them particularly attracts attention: that of her ex, César, who disappeared from the radar for months, but whose diary she recovered. A track that will lead her to Nicole Herman, a doctor with troubled and disturbing activities. Over staggering investigations, Emmanuelle will scour the city and its still smoldering secrets. The slew of characters certainly makes you dizzy, but the atmosphere of the story, its humorous side and this exploration of the underworld of this little-known city deserve to make us take our ticket for a comical visit.
