Description

The 60-ish year-old driver, Bertrand Barthelme, a successful solicitor, appears to have fallen asleep at the wheel, rolled down a slope, hit a tree, and instantly died.

Graeme is also the author of two French-set detective novels: The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau (2014) and The Accident on the A35 (2017). Accident" - and a possible third book - are the result of lost manuscripts which came to light after the death of his aged mother. for a stand-alone about a police detective, a developmentally delayed boy, and a package everyone in North Dakota wants to grab. The Greatest Secret, the long-awaited major work by Rhonda Byrne, lays out the next quantum leap in a journey that will take the listener beyond the material world and into the spiritual realm, where all possibilities exist. Hauntingly atmospheric, mordantly witty, and brilliantly written, Burnet’s book will leave you with many questions of your own about the characters and events.Now Caine delves into the real stories behind the gangs we think we know so well, revealing the hidden realities behind the myths.

She leaves behind no memories worth keeping: her husband is dead, her boss has made no bones about disliking her, and she’s looking forward to new responsibilities and the higher salary underwritten by North Dakota’s sudden oil boom. Along the way, they’ll unlock wisdom for those of us navigating our own coupledoms, and for those still seeking their perfect match.

Bertrand's 17 year old son, Raymond decides to carry out his own investigation into his father's movements that night. Also, I would like to speak to any motorists who were travelling in the vicinity and may have captured anything of relevance on dashcam footage. In an ideal world I was going to retrospectively identify and count them all, but I can't be bothered.

As with Adele Budeau, we learn in the Forward (and more in the Afterword) that this detective story was actually one of two outstanding manuscripts by the “acclaimed” (fictional) author, Raymond Brunet, delivered to the publisher on the day of his mother’s death. That was what people did in such circumstances…” This was a boy who wasn’t guilty of a crime--except perhaps the crime of unkind thoughts. But after confirming his identity the following morning, his widow, Lucette raised a query: where had her husband been that night?Darkly humorous, subtle and sophisticated, “The Accident on the A35” burrows deep into the psyches of its characters and explores the forgotten corners of small-town life.

He assumes everyone is paying attention to him and his paranoia really does feel misplaced most of the time. An eminent and austere lawyer, Bertrand Barthelme, is found dead in his car following what looks like a road traffic accident.One autumn evening he’s disturbed in his routine of solitary drinking when Bertrand Barthelme, a respected solicitor, ploughs his Mercedes fatally into a tree on the road from Strasbourg. A police spokesperson said a third person is being treated for injuries which are not believed to be life changing or life altering. Neatly, in a plot already resting on old books, what people are reading – Balzac, Baudelaire, Zola and Sartre – enjoyably inflects both prose and plot. Clever, meandering and oh, so French… Burnet really has — a rare thing nowadays — a novelist’s eye… I confess myself seduced by the atmosphere of provincial ennui.
