I have read three out of the four books by Michel Bussi and have the fourth a signed hardback bought by me waiting in my To be read pile. Not one has disappointed me. If you enjoy following the clues of a very clever writer ,being totally gripped and sat on the edge of your seat then his books are for you. I call books like these time wasters. You'll find any excuse to keep picking them up and reading, losing time.

Interesting book and captivating, definitely a writer I’m looking to read more of.
I really liked how it was one plot line and then shifted entirely at the end.
Definite recommend.

J'ai bien aimé l'histoire de ce livre. Le seul point concret négatif que j'ai c'est que je n'aimais pas que l'auteur parle souvent très sexuellement des femmes quand ce n'était pas nécessaire. Surtout au début du livre. Je pense que c'était une bonne histoire. Je suis SUPER contente que Martial, Liane et Sofa aient survécu. Je suis aussi SUPER triste que Imelda soit morte, mais je pense que c'était bon pour l'histoire. J'aime bien la fin aussi.

Merci au @libraire se cache, qui par son avis (même sobre) m'a convaincu de me laisser tenter.
C'est adapté d'un roman, mais je n'ai jamais lu l'auteur donc pas de risque de me gâcher le plaisir.
Au final ce fut une enquête vraiment sympathique et j'ai aimé son traitement et ses rebondissements.
J'ai même envie de lire le roman pour approfondir certains points comme la psychologie des personnages (en particulier l'inspectrice) ou prendre du temps sur certains passage comme la dernière victime.
Bref, je recommande !

I have to admit that this book was a bit of a let down. Not that it was bad, it's just that when you've read "After the Crash" and "Black Water Lilies" and even "Never forget" (although that one is not as good as the other two) I was expecting more surprises and more twists. This one didn't really have that.

I received this book as part of Goodreads First Reads. I really enjoyed this suspenseful, plot-driven novel and will definitely seek out more of Bussi’s work.

Visit the locations in the novel Don't Let Go
This was horrifyingly good - what would you go if your partner disappeared on an island where you were holidaying,far from anywhere and in the most remote yet beautiful part of the Indian ocean. The language and cultural barriers, the fact your young daughter is there with you, the trouble of all that plus being suspected yourself.
There’s something very grim yet fascinating about novels which put tragedy in an idyllic setting and this is one of them.More so as it reminded me of a horrible true life story which was in the news a few years ago.
The book grips from the off and what makes it more gripping is how its written in the news bulletin format - quick snippets of info, the developing investigation, the red herrings, the whys and where fors and the race to the crushing climax.
An awfully inward looking and protective island community at odds with its tourist appearance in this novel. Read it on a beach and imagine yourself there...

We got a English translation sent to us at the bookshop I work. The arc claiming that #BussiBuzz would be the new #Ferrantefever. I doubt that but this was a unexpected thriller. I mostly liked the setting though, set on the island Reunion, close to Madagascar. It has some twist and turns. And it's entertaining, but nothing really special.
English translation is out in the end of April 2017.
