Have to admit I enjoyed the journey, constant revelations, trying to guess what would happen and if at times a bit dramatic it still made for a very interesting read. This is what I call a puzzle mystery, clues are revealed slowly, pieces are assembled but it is not until the final piece that all becomes apparent. Of course not, there would be no story if they did.Īlternately narrated by the private detective's journal, he who was hired by the wealthy family and would spend eighteen years looking definitive proof of the child's identity and Mark the young man thought to be the brother of the unidentified child. Was reminded a bit of King Solomon here, would one family give up, their claim in the best interest of the child. In the time before DNA it is almost impossible to prove which baby this was and so two families, one wealthy with connections, one hard working with no connections both claim the baby as their grandchildren. Really? Well, stranger things have happened in life, so just go with it. A plane crash, two three month old babies on board and one survives while every other being on the plane does not. Translated for the first time from France, this book has won multiple awards in its home country.
