In his latest novel, Joël Dicker plunges us into the mystery of an event that long remained shrouded in the shadows of a small town. For years, the locals have recalled a Friday in December—just days before Christmas—when a school trip to the zoo turned into a catastrophe. Today, thanks to this book, the truth finally comes to light.
On the eve of Christmas, what was meant to be an educational outing quickly descends into drama. As questions pile up about what really happened, the parents of Joséphine, one of the story’s key figures, embark on a determined quest to uncover the truth. Throughout the investigation, the narrative reveals that, as is often the case, a catastrophe never comes alone, and appearances can be highly deceptive.
Both humorous and touching, this novel is not merely a thrilling investigation; it is also peppered with subtle nods to our current societal norms—be it in the realms of democracy, inclusive education, or parent-teacher relationships. A work with multiple layers of meaning, it is designed to inspire wonder and provoke thought in readers of all ages.
