The Seventh Guest

Gaston Boca

4.9/5 (27868 ratings)

Description:Boca’s brilliant impossible crime novel... takes Paris sleuths Stéphane Triel and Luc Duthiel into some very dark waters when they accept the invitation of a stranger, Jeanne d’Arlon, to join her and her husband at Nanteuil Manor. On their arrival, Triel and Duthiel find that Benoît Gérapin, the nephew of the manor’s concierge, has apparently taken his own life; only Gérapin’s large footprints are visible in the mud surrounding the cabin containing his hanged corpse. Certain details, including traces of red lipstick on the dead man’s mouth, argue against suicide, posing a mystery that’s just the prelude to more impossibilities. Boca (1903–2000) leavens the grim story line with humor while creating a palpable atmosphere of menace reminiscent of John Dickson Carr and imbuing his characters with psychological depth. Fans of golden age puzzle mysteries won’t want to miss this gem. Further impossibilities include a seventh guest who can walk through walls. The eventual solution reveals a monstrously evil plan behind it allWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
