Product Information
'Ends with one of the most reverberating shocks in modern crime fiction' - Sunday Times This is the story of thirteen days that begin with one murder and end with another. Jerome Morval, a man whose passion for art was matched only by his passion for women, has been found dead in the stream that runs through the gardens at Giverny, where Monet did his famous paintings. In Jerome's pocket is a postcard of Monet's Water Lilies with the words: Eleven years old. Happy Birthday. Entangled in the mystery are three women: a young painting prodigy, the seductive village schoolteacher and an old widow who watches over the village from a mill by the stream. All three of them share a secret. But what do they know about the discovery of Jerome Morval's corpse? And what is the connection to the mysterious Black Water Lilies, a rumoured masterpiece by Monet that has never been found... 'This elegant crime mystery shimmers as delicately as the paintings of Claude Monet that lie at its heart . . . A bestseller in France, it is a dazzling, unexpected and haunting masterpiece' - Daily Mail An enchanting tale that kept me absolutely hooked as Bussi cleverly breaks all the perceived rules of plotting in a story containing riddles within riddles . . . stunning' - Daily ExpressProduct Identifiers

Fascinating mysteries in a lovely setting but not an easy read.
A fascinating mysteries set in lovely Giverny and lots of interest for Impressionist lovers. But I don't like the way it is written and some of it is difficult to understand - perhaps things got lost in translation? I am 1/2 way through and will carry on because I want to know the mystery surrounding the Black Water Lillies and the murders, but I don't think I will read another of the author.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Complex, charming, mysterious and thrilling
Brillliant book in its concept, keeps the reader engrossed (but confused) throughout; with a denoument with more twists than a corkscrew. Beautifully written and superbly translated. Compelling stuff - read it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I was expecting more, given its title. Still a good read.
This novel would appeal to art lovers who like a murder mystery. Set in France, there are obviously a lot of French street names, buildings etc. This could be challenging for some readers. The plot of the book was quite involved. I personally don't think it was as gripping as the reviews would have us believe. It is however, well written and atmospheric and set in Monet's lily pond area.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

More than a detective story ....
One of the best books I have read in a long time, I loved it from start to finish. Even prepared to forgive the odd cliché and the (very) unlikely ending!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
