'' Five girls, three corpses, but no more flying '' by Andréa H. Japp - Marabout

Quickly discover the latest book by Andrea H. Japp, the great lady of the French polar: "Five girls, three corpses, but more flying" to the Marabout editions.

Andrea H. Japp, in this funny and well-run crime novel, tells beyond the police intrigue the pettiness and the wickedness of one and the other, happily supplanted by the friendship which remains the most effective spring against the vagaries of life and even corpses ...

From a strange case of international espionage whose five girls, well steeped in television series, will suffer the collateral damage. Andrea H. Japp builds a novel that no longer let go so much the five heroines, fallen into the hands of the "dirty weasels who have been sniffing them for months", have become close to us.

In this book Five girls, three corpses, but more than flyingAndrea H. Japp shares her taste for "bed chick". Conquered by this genre, which Jane Austen first explored, long before Helen Fielding and her Bridget Jones, she gives us a story to lie to those who might pretend, without having read it, that Andrea H. Japp fell into the pot of literature for girls!

The story: Five girlfriends have always shared their professional and sentimental setbacks: Emma the luscious blonde in need of a child, Nathalie the housewife who has just been tackled, Hélène the researcher who has made her lack of diplomacy a terrible weapon, Charlotte the shrink who always ends up sleeping with one of his patients, and finally Juliette, the beautician who pampers a male clientele handpicked. The day Charlotte discovers a corpse chained at the wheel of her car, she gives in to a panic and immediately calls her friends to the rescue. Very quickly, they build a plan, but find themselves caught in stories that go far beyond them, especially since other corpses are involved and that the first has disappeared ...

Here is a story not to be missed ...
