Text of the page (random words):
nd dead in his car murdered karuki tatsurō confesses the crime along with another murder he committed in 1984 his son kazuma has a hard time believing that his sweet dad murdered two people mirei the victim s daughter thinks that what karuki reports about his interactions with her father sounds unlike the father she knew godai and his partner nakamachi are embarrassed too they have an admission of guilt by a man who knows details about the murder that the police didn t disclose only the murderer knew them and yet they have a hard time comforting his confession with material evidences something doesn t add up here again the plot is a little gem as the author leads us from an obvious case to a more complex story with roots in a crime that occurred 30 years ago this coupled with a neat style was already enough to make of guilt a good crime fiction book it becomes even more fascinating because we see glimpses of the criminal justice system of japan mirei the victim s daughter has to hire a lawyer to assist her and her mother as plaintiffs i understand from the novel that the law changed rather recently but before that the trial was only between the defendant and the state prosecutor the victims were not part of the trial and had no access to the documentation of the case they had no contact with the defendant no opportunity to hear what they had to say to the jury seen from my french window it s weird higashino also describes the impact of a father s crime on their family kazumi s employer doesn t fire him after his father s confession but they demote him he knows he ll have to live with this stain his whole life families of criminals become social pariahs guilt combines an excellent crime plot with social commentary about the workings of the criminal justice and with musings about guilt innocence repentance and the side effects of crimes on the perpetrator s family highly recommended dangerous road by kris nelscott is set from february to mid april 1968 in memphis during the black sanitation workers strike up to the assassination of martin luther king smokey dalton is an unlicensed private investigator he barely makes ends meet with his job he s known in the black community as a cool head and a free agent he s friends with the reverend henry davis and gives a hand to no violent civil right activists but he s not an activist himself he s a good member of the community and at the moment he worries about ten years old jimmy who skips school whose coat is too small and who doesn t eat enough his mother checked out his brother joe has let me down so smokey takes him to restaurants picks him up at school and even gets him a new coat smokey s life change at the end of february 1968 when laura hathaway enters his office and tells him her mother left him 10000 dollars in her will laura hathaway wants to know why her mother left him money not to retain it but because she wants to understand problem laura is a white young woman from chicago smokey doesn t know her or of her and in 1960 he had already received the same amount from an undisclosed legacy the two legacies are linked he s sure of it he tells laura they will probably unearth dirty secrets she might regret knowing she decides to go on with the investigation at the same time black associations organize marches and protests in memphis in relation to the strike black panthers militant want to go further than peaceful protests crowds are under manipulation the town is a powder keg waiting to explode this is a wonderful book that mixes a search for two people s identity the resolution of the mystery of their pasts and information about the days leading to martin luther king s assassination i didn t read it on purpose for black history month or read indies it just happened i m very tempted to read the next volume of the series right away and see what becomes of smokey and jimmy after the dramatic events and revelations of this month of april 1968 this one is highly recommended contrary to the next one the mystery of the code noir by laurent joffrin this is a new episode in the series created by jean françois parot featuring nicolas le floch as a police investigator this time we re in 1791 louis xvi is in paris and has not fled to ravenne yet so he s still alive and the city is buzzing with revolutionary meetings and the implementation of new ways to run the country among this chaos the comte de fleuriau and the marquis de fossais are killed and their bodies are mutilated le floch investigates and discovers that they both own plantations in the ile aux vents now guadeloupe and that the way they were killed is similar to some punishments of slaves according to the code noir the code noir is decree defining the rules regarding slaves and plantations written under colbert during the reign of louis xiv what did these two men do who wanted them dead in such a way honestly the plot idea is great but the execution is sluggish laurent joffrin is a journalist he knows how to write articles but not novels and certainly not historical crime fiction novels i thought his style was poor and that le floch s character grated on my nerves with his womanizing ways and his love of food and wine like the caricature of a french dom juan five books all excellent except the last one these five books show how diverse the genre can be and how rewarding it is to dive into a good crime fiction book they are entertaining but also deal with societal political and psychological issues none of the five books mentioned is about serial killers violence against women or feature graphic violence all the books above are a participation to the following project or challenges share this share on bluesky opens in new window bluesky more share on

alexievich what an evening february 1 2026 14 comments last night at the theatre we saw a stage version of svetlana alexievich s book the unwomanly face of war 1983 here s the blurb of the book this book is a confession a document and a record of people s memory more than 200 women speak in it describing how young girls who dreamed of becoming brides became soldiers in 1941 more than 500 000 soviet women participated on a par with men in the second world war the most terrible war of the 20th century women not only rescued and bandaged the wounded but also fired a sniper s rifle blew up bridges went reconnoitering and killed they killed the enemy who with unprecedented cruelty had attacked their land their homes and their children soviet writer of belarussia svetlana alexiyevich spent four years working on the book visiting over 100 cities and towns settlements and villages and recording the stories and reminiscences of women war veterans the soviet press called the book a vivid reporting of events long past which affected the destiny of the nation as a whole the most important thing about the book is not so much the front line episodes as women s heart rending experiences in the war i haven t read it but i knew this stage version would be good it was made from book to play by julie deliquet julie andré and florence seyvos and directed by julie deliquet she had already directed welfare based on a documentary a play we d seen and loved when the public enters the theatre as often the stage is already open when did the curtain lift disappeared and why and this is the décor we see it s a messy communal apartment somewhere in the soviet union then one by one the actresses arrive on stage until the nine witnesses who will discuss their experience in the soviet army during wwii are sitting on chairs then the actress playing svetlana alexievich arrives and explains to the public what kind of book she wants to write and why she s been hunting the country high and low to find women who want to share their past and how she now receives spontaneous testimonies then she starts asking the first question how did you feel when the war started and your life was uprooted and from then on the women talk their stories bounce off each other they bring their piece to the puzzle and draw a horrible picture of war and women at war they show the horrible conditions on the front in an army who needed them but was not ready to have women as soldiers no women uniforms no sanitary pads no protection against rapes they talk about their harsh return at home not seen as heroes but as bad mothers abnormal women war women not women men want to marry or ones mothers want as daughters in law they explain why they remained silent and never told their story they talk about all the horrors they saw and had to live with the difficult reconnection with their children when they came home the guilt the shame and also the indignation of being left aside in the grand celebration of the soviet victory they came from various parts of the soviet union and experienced the war differently the ukrainian woman s testimony was even more poignant because of the current russian invasion of her country they also had different positions in the army stretcher bearer pilots resistant fighters in occupied parts of the country like belorussia snipers or soldiers they describe the humiliations that awaited them at home private or public since stalin didn t trust them on stage julie andré was svetlana alexievich she co wrote the text for the play and she was asking difficult questions explaining her intent with collecting even the smallest details of their experience at war she didn t want to write a book about the war she wanted to show the war at a woman s level as a person and also give a voice to all these forgotten heroines and leave a trace of their lives before they disappeared and their stories was wiped out of history for good this play was a masterpiece i don t say that really often but it left us speechless and the whole public did a standing ovation to the incredible actresses who embodied the voices of these women who are probably dead by now but will live forever in alexievich s pages their acting was perfect interacting with each other very naturally and we didn t have the impression they were telling a written text but truly discussing with each other reminiscing reliving their past in front of us it felt like this session of discussion between these women was happening before our eyes it felt spontaneous i hope someone recorded this play for future broadcasting it deserves a tv showing and it comes from the way this play was created julie deliquet explains it in this interview she built the group of actresses around her project and they worked together on the text and its stage adaptation they absorbed the material of the book but also discussed their lives as women julie deliquet says that the cast of who would play which character came late in the process that they were all able to play any role this group is composed of julie andré astrid bayiha evelyne didi marina keltchewsky odja llorca marie payen amandine pudlo agnès ramy blanche ripoche and hélène viviès they were all amazing and i bet they didn t come out of this experience unscathed the making of this play the implication of the actresses and the way the text is adapted to the stage is extremely powerful it rights the wrong of the invisibility of the women s participation in wwii in the soviet army but it also reaches universality what they say about women during wars how rapes become a war weapon and how cruelty towards women and children is seen as an...
