After the huge success of Blizzard, Marie Vingtras showcases her talent in a wide-ranging, breathtaking novel, with deeply moving characters.
Leo hasn’t returned. Spring is mild in Mercy. Nothing much happens, except for the passing of days and lives. Sheriff Lauren Hobler understands that Leo will never come back. Her body is found among the wild irises. Around the sudden death of this seemingly uneventful young girl, Les âmes féroces weaves together several destinies over the course of a year. But which mystery will be unraveled? Leo’s, perhaps, with her silences and absences. Lauren’s, trapped in a small town that doesn’t take her seriously. And then there’s Benjamin, Seth, and the others... the people of Mercy.
With this second novel, Marie Vingtras demonstrates her remarkable talent as a storyteller and explorer of the ferocity of human nature.
