Reviews
A twisted and riveting story ... highly original.--The Toronto Star

"A compelling whodunit ... The winner here is not just Ragougneau, but all readers in search of energetic, original crime novels. The Madonna of Notre Dame maintains the notion that good still conquers evil."--Foreword Reviews

Sharp as a razor, witty and really exciting ... A classic French noir, features portents and fateful events, humour and darkness side by side, pacey action and snappy dialogue. A great read.--Nudge-Book

Arresting ... The devastating truth proves that the line between good and evil isn't always clear.--Publishers Weekly

"Thrilling until the last page, an unforgettable investigator, real life characters: The French crime novel has found its new pope."--RTL Television

"Alexis Ragouneau demonstrates indisputable talent and promise as a crime writer and novelist."--Le Point

"With vigorous writing, Alexis Ragougneau sweeps us away on a high-flying investigation."--Le Monde

"The investigation delves into the painful pasts of the protagonists, taking us behind masks and appearances, oscillating between light and darkness. The style is racy, the humor subtle."--Télérama

Impeccable drama and the characters are first-rate.--L'Express
