NOUVEAUX LIVRES
Our new library pick of the month!
AGATHA CHRISTIE - LES INDISCRÉTIONS D'HERCULE POIVROT
"Richard Abernethie died suddenly at home from a heart attack. That's what the newspapers wrote. All the relatives rushed to the funeral and
everything would have happened very well if this crazy Cora had stupidly asked: "It was well murdered, is not it? This incongruous question,
of course, throws a cold into the family reunion.
Six or eight blows of the ax, the next day, on the skull of the talker, and a little arsenic stuffed into the cake of his lady companion,
will justify the intervention of Hercule Poirot. His famous sense of deduction will prove that the innocent question of Cora was not so
stupid...
A passionate thriller easy to read in French.
JULES VERNE - 20 000 LIEUES SOUS LES MERS
A sea monster, "a huge thing", having been reported by several ships around the world, an expedition is organized on the Abraham
Lincoln, American frigate, to purge the seas of this disturbing monster. On board are the Frenchman Pierre Aronnax, a professor at the Paris
Museum, and Conseil, his faithful servant. The monster turns out to be a fabulous submarine, the Nautilus, designed and commanded by a
strange character, Captain Nemo, who seems fiercely hostile to all humanity!
A French classic.
GILLES LEGARDINIER - DEMAIN J'ARRÊTE !
At first, it was because of her funny name that Julie became interested in her new neighbor. But soon, there was everything else: his charm,
his look, and everything he seems to hide ... Because she wants to know everything about Ric, Julie will take more and more delirious
risks...
A fun book easy to read.
