Black Water Lilies: A stunning, twisty murder mystery

Product Information

Las tres mujeres viven en Giverny, la localidad en la que Monet pintó su numerosa serie de nenúfares. El negro es el único color que no utilizaba Monet, como buen impresionista, en sus pinturas. Aunque este cómic destila negro por todos lados. Negro de asesinatos, secretos y mentiras. La primera era mala,vivía en un gran molino,tenía más de 85 años,vestía siempre de negro y tenía un bonito cuadro. En realidad, la tercera, la más joven, buscaba un padre fuera de allí. La segunda buscaba el amor. La primera, la mayor, sabía cosas de las otras dos...” Also, water lilies are known for accommodating frogs or any other amphibious species that want to have a rest, as these flowers are very big and spacious.

The use of the young girl is also execrated because there is little interaction between any women at all in the book - wouldn’t there be female friends? There is a woman associated with the police but she disappears shortly afterwards and is only there for the men to talk about each other. The setting, Monet's home village of Giverny, is gloriously depicted. From the gardens and the water sources from his paintings, to the narrow winding streets this small village sits in the middle of farmland which also weaves its way into the story, as it did Monet's paintings. There is the beautiful and mysterious mill; the hotels and the bars and cafes; and the village school with its lovely and popular young teacher. Into this scenario a couple of policemen step when the body of a local man is found in the river in the town. The local cop, with his pregnant wife and bbq collection, the younger and more senior in the force, from another part of France - an outsider whose job it is to get inside the heads of the locals. La prima abitava in un grande mulino in riva a un ruscello sul chemin du Roy; la seconda in una mansarda sopra la scuola in rue Blanche Hoschedé-Monet; la terza con la madre in una casetta di rue du Château-d’Eau dai muri scrostati.

Uno stile narrativo intrigante, che mi ha affascinata fin dalle prime pagine. Mi sono sentita "rapita". While between them, in age at least, is the femme fatale – Stéphanie. Is she a potential victim herself, or is she seducing Detective Sérénac for more nefarious reasons? Stymied by his own plot?

A novel so extraordinary that it reminded me of reading Steig Larsson for the very first time ... Bussi breaks every rule in the book, but I doubt I'll read a more brilliant crime novel this year' Sunday Times on AFTER THE CRASH Thank you to Netgalley, Orion Publishing group and Michel Bussi for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review.It’s also interesting to note that water lilies propagate in two ways: they either do a vegetative reproduction or they produce seeds, thus they create a cycle of reproduction. Water Lilies’ vegetative reproduction There is a murder committed and the plans and lives of these three women may be impacted because of this incident. But is this murder going to be the only one or is there more horror to come? Pura trama, e il buon vecchio gusto della sfida col lettore che ti lascia fess' e cuntent! (a dirla tutta il brividino della domanda "che cos'è l'amor?" te lo lascia, ma solo se hai mangiato pesante e/o tuo marito e/o tua moglie dorme da due ore sul divano e/o hai appena ritrovato il diario del liceo e/o sei un cittadino di Roma) We will only send out plants once they have established a sufficient root system, to ensure they travel well and reach you ready to be put into your pond.

A partire dall’omicidio di un medico oftalmologo, noto dongiovanni, si sviluppa una trama originale, un gioco di specchi, che tra misteri, quadri di Monet, vecchie foto, inganni e segreti si fa via via più appassionante e coinvolgente, fino a sfociare nel finale che non ti aspetti.

Secondly I found this far too predictable, and my tolarence of predictable books is starting to waine a little. I kept reading thou, I the hope I was proven wrong, sometimes books have a wonderful way of surprising us. Sadly I wasn't wrong and my prediction was true. Not good. Os ha quedado claro: las tres eran diferentes, sin embargo, tenían algo en común, un secreto, digamos: las tres soñaban con irse de allí.” Waterlily leaf spot – reddish or grey-brown concentrically marked spots on the leaves.

The Good part of this book is I got curious and ended up reading about Monet and his paintings. I like it when a book that I read gives me information about something I don't know and makes me want to research a bit on my own. No, I’m not going to give it away. It is indeed a surprise, though I can hardly say the biggest ever. But more importantly, the first rule of a surprise ending is not to cheat. Marrotte, Robby. (2011).

Je vais vous révéler un autre secret. Giverny est un piège ! Un merveilleux décor, c'est certain. Qui pourrait rêver de vivre ailleurs ? Un si joli village. Mais je vais vous avouer : le décor est figé. Pétrifié. Interdiction de décorer autrement la moindre maison, de repeindre un mur, de cueillir la moindre fleur. Dix lois l'interdisent. Nous vivons dans un tableau, ici. Nous sommes emmurés ! On croit qu'on est au centre du monde, qu'on vaut le déplacement, comme on dit. Mais c'est le paysage, le décor, qui finit par vous dégouliner dessus. Une sorte de vernis qui vous colle au décor. Un vernis quotidien de résignation. De renoncement...

The flower releases a sweet liquid that is very fragrant and attractive to insects like bees, which are necessary insects for pollination.
