Thank you, Jeremy, for these two really good book reviews. I love that both books are broader in scope and thought than just crime puzzles can be. Like: "Rae-Venter astutely breaks down the difference between privacy and anonymity."
So, while crime and mystery are not genres I'm particularly drawn to, I have liked Tana French, and will certainly keep Madwomen and I Know Who in mind.
I had to double take the first book - ‘The Mad Woman of Paris’ sounds awfully similar to a book I read a few years ago (translated from French) called ‘The Mad Woman’s Ball’ by Victoria Mas! The plot sounds identical? I might have to read the Epstein one as research to see if there’s any foul book play going on. Either way - if you haven’t read ‘The Mad Woman’s Ball’ perhaps you’d like it!
