CHRONIQUE

Salut à tous, j'espère que vous allez bien :)

Voici une nouvelle chronique sur le blog, il s’agit de : Ma famille et autres suspects de Kate Emery

Ma famille et autres suspects est un polar que j’ai apprécié découvrir. L’intrigue est bonne et bien menée, assez simple mais efficace dans le genre.

Une lecture assez addictive même si le rythme est assez lent. Mais cela nous permet de voir tous les détails et d’essayer de comprendre qui a bien pu assassiner la grand-mère de Ruth… un membre de la famille qui est présent dans la maison car ils vivent en huis clos, coupé de tout et de tout réseau.

Autant dire que les possibilités sont assez limitées mais est-ce vraiment aussi simple que ça ? Même si à plusieurs reprises on veut l’écarter de l’affaire, Ruth est bien déterminée à découvrir la vérité, quoi qu’il en coûte.

Un roman que je vous invite à découvrir.

And the 2026 Young Adult Book of the Year goes to:

✨ A Murder is Going Down by Kate Emery, published by Allen & Unwin ✨

The judges described the book as 'addictive. Stayed up late reading. Got in trouble. With plenty of unexpected twists and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the end, this story is a real page-turner.'

Congratulations to @kateemerywrites on her 2026 Premier's Book Awards win! Find the other winners on our grid.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A suburban murder romp with bite — The Dysfunctional Family’s Guide to Murder delivers exactly what the title promises: sharp humor, messy secrets, and a family you can’t help rooting for even when they’re absolutely making everything worse. A perfect weekend binge for readers who love their mysteries twisty, chaotic, and a little unhinged.
