Reckoning at the Riviera Royale

Anty travels to the Riviera to finally have that awkward ‘did you murder my father’ conversation with his mother, but instead finds himself in the ticklish position of defending her and an innocent elephant against charges of a murder that no one could have committed.

Like all Anty Boisjoly mysteries, Reckoning at the Riviera Royale is a stand-alone stumper populated with eccentric characters and improbable plots and numerous subplots, and it’s best enjoyed by those who like a little humour in their whodunnit.

Anty Boisjoly is a serious experiment in a whimsical line — Christie-esque locked-room mysteries written in the style of                 PG Wodehouse. The reviews are in and the experiment is a success. Readers respond in particular to the happy, eccentric, witty first-person voice of Anty Boisjoly narrating the nevertheless twisty mysteries.
