Elly Grant, by her own admission, likes to kill people. She is doing this very successfully in her novels. She knows how to develop a plot, create suspense and make her characters - interesting characters! - come alive in the reader's mind. Death in the Pyrenees comprises three books, which makes it the equivalent of around 500 pages, which furthermore makes it the equivalent of several nights with little sleep. This was the case with me. I couldn't put the book down and when I finally decided to stop reading well after midnight, I couldn't sleep for quite a while. In other words: this book is a sleep thief, which is, in my book, a sign of a brilliant book. Read it, enjoy it and don't worry if you look a bit tired the next day.
