Mystery of Rose-Hume (French Edition)

When, at twenty years old, I married my employer, the writer-detective Antony Carroll, I expected a peaceful and happy existence. I believed I had broken away from the adventurous - not to say perilous - life that had been mine since the day I boarded the Aurelia, for a cruise that began with the gloomy sight of a man killed before my eyes, and ended with a visit to the tomb of Tutankhamun and a frantic escape along the Valley of the Kings, on a stolen motorcycle. Fate, however, decided otherwise...

I had thought that by marrying Antony, I would leave behind the excitement and danger that had characterized my previous experiences. The cruise on the Aurelia had been a particularly unsettling event, starting with the shocking sight of a man's murder and culminating in a harrowing escape through the Valley of the Kings on a stolen bike. I had hoped that a life with Antony, a successful writer and detective, would provide the tranquility and security I craved.

Yet, as I would soon discover, the calm and content existence I had envisioned was not to be. Fate had other plans, and the adventures that had once defined my life were far from over. The decision to marry Antony, rather than ushering in a period of peace, would only serve to propel me back into a world of uncertainty and peril.

In the end, my hopes for a serene and uneventful future were dashed, as the unpredictable currents of my life continued to sweep me along on a journey filled with the unexpected. The tranquility I had sought would remain elusive, replaced by the thrilling, yet precarious, challenges that had become the hallmark of my existence.
