It's not difficult to see why Guillaume Musso sells more books than any other French author (33 million so far). He is a cynical romantic who loves wrongfooting his readers. Here, the breathless game of cherchez-la-femme starts in a deserted, Covid-ravaged Paris, moves on to Venice and Beirut, before returning to France: "the most bureaucratic, Kafkaesque country in the world". The peculiar atmosphere of each city is described with economic precision. Il est bien fait!
