Two Weeks in the South of France by David Christie, is an amazing murder mystery filled with tons of action, romance and conspiracy. I must say I was a little skeptical about reading this novel. I thought it was going to be boring with very little flow to the story line and only entail a few good dramatic action points. I was completely wrong, Christie overall provides a great story line of a young male trying to find out what happened to his father overseas.Christie gives so much depth to Chris's character within this novel. The beginning of the novel starts of great but I would say the first day or of Chris's journey was a little boring. I am glad that I pressed on and continued to read the novel, as Christie plot and story picked up tremendously. Delving deeply into the mind of the main character, "Chris," going through his pain and discovery of who his father truly was but wanting to uphold his legacy his memory - what an emotional roller coaster ride and journey. This is what makes Christie's writing flow, after about Day 3 I was unable to put the novel down.The style of writing was well suited for this novel, although it was a struggle to get through some of the beginning, please stick with it. The beginning provides valuable background information that will help Chris the character and the reader fully understand resolution at the end. If I had to describe this novel I would say the following: Drama with tons of Action A little suspense, Christie really threw a few curve balls in the plot to keep the reader on their toes Add history in regards to the militia of the times Action packed scenes dispersed evenly throughout the novelOverall this was an amazing novel and I wished it had a sequel.
