From the Publisher
"...I exclude knives, razors or any other sharp instrument which would involve both an appropriate knowledge of human anatomy and a very steady hand, qualities I do not possess..."
François is a Parisian lawyer, who is in love with his myopic trainee Zaza, and decides that the only way to obtain his freedom is to get rid of his wife Liliane. And he doesn't mean divorce... His tunnel-visioned attempts on the lovely Liliane’s life fail spectacularly, and as his blackly comic campaign moves from an initial lack of success to a spectacular lack of success, we wonder how innocent is Liliane? And her doting mother Mamy? And what’s the story with her half-brother Gilles? In the end no-one will be more surprised by the results of his efforts than François... An engrossing and cruelly funny novel by the French Queen of Crime: surprise follows surprise all the way to an indescribable twist ending! - Hélène de Monaghan is one of the leading French authors of crime fiction, and has won many awards for fiction, her plays and her television work. - Readers of Ruth Rendell and Patricia Highsmith should enjoy SINGLEMINDED, as it embodies many of the characteristics of their kind of crime fiction. - She has been called ‘The French Patricia Highsmith’. - SINGLEMINDED is one of the best known crime novels in France, and many critics consider it to be one of the best ‘classical’ crime novels of all time. "...If you’ve missed the sharp, ironic wit and style of Patricia Highsmith, meet Hélène de Monaghan, a French writer expert at the sting in the tail (and elsewhere for that matter...)"
