Description
Is there any real treachery? – save between man and wife.
A husband and wife drive through the switchback roads of the Vosges Mountains. A husband and wife have an explosive argument. The husband returns home. The wife does not.
Guy and Sibille Lebfebvre share a normal marriage, filled with more happy moments than stormy passages. That is until they have an explosive argument, and Sibille storms out of their car and into the deserted mountain roads.
With Sibille now missing for six months, Arlette Davidson is sure something sinister has transpired. Her family hasn’t heard from her, her bank account hasn’t been touched, and, most troubling, her husband hasn’t bothered to find her. Arlette Davidson decides it’s time to start looking. With the help of Henri Castang, she launches an investigation into Guy Levfebvre.
Guy swears that this is nothing more than a cold war of pride – Sibille too stubborn to come home, he too obstinate to reach out. But Guy’s diary suggests he has something to atone for…
In this dark and winding mystery, can Castang determine who did it? Or is the greater question has it happened at all?

This is a book by the author of the Van der Valk novels, I watched those on tv and so was intrigued to read a book by him, although this involves a different character.
It involves the investigation into the disappearance of Sibille Lefebvre, which is carried out by Henri Castang and Arlette Davidson, Van der Valk's wife, who remarried after his death, and who runs an enquiry bureau. Sibille disappears during a drive through a mountainous region. There is no activity on her bank account or credit card, and no communication from her, so it is assumed that she is probably dead.
The chapters swap around between different characters which helps keep the story moving, but I did find it heavy going in parts, I think that fans of the Van der Valk tv series will enjoy the book.
Thanks to Netgalley and Ipso books for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
