Description
A riveting, layered exploration of memory, betrayal, and the fluid nature of truth, The Story of Marceau Miller is a masterpiece of psychological suspense.
In the beautiful and dangerous landscape of Lake Geneva, in the shadow of the Swiss Alps, renowned writer Marceau Miller is found dead. In the wake of the tragedy, his wife, Sarah, discovers a manuscript he’s left behind, entitled The Story of Marceau Miller.
With the support of close friends, Sarah struggles to hold herself together while caring for her two children and coping with the mounting questions surrounding her famous husband’s death. Was it an accident or part of some darker game?
Compelled to find the truth, Sarah unravels secrets that make her question everything—and everyone—around her. Who can she possibly trust? Her journey from grief to revelation captures the nuance of marriage to a man who remains an enigma. Who is Marceau Miller, really?
One of the year’s most addictive thrillers, The Story of Marceau Miller marks the debut of a gifted new author—Marceau Miller—who may or may not be the man at the center of the novel itself.
Advance Praise
“This highly effective novel can be devoured in one sitting. It tells the story of Marceau Miller, a successful writer who falls while climbing in the French Alps and never recovers. Was it an accident? His wife Sarah is convinced otherwise. All the more so when she discovers her husband has left behind a final manuscript that she must track down if she is to know the truth. What follows is a fast-paced investigation that doesn’t leave the reader a minute’s peace.”
--Sandrine Bajos, Le Parisien

“Readers’ escapist needs are met here through the natural beauty of the forests surrounding Lake Geneva, which turn forbidding as Sarah’s isolation progresses. A well-constructed, emotionally compelling whodunit with a modern Christie feel.”
--Booklist
“Complex [and] atmospheric…A captivating whodunit, punctuated by fourth-wall breaking: The book itself is written from the omnipresent perspective of Marceau Miller after his death…A compelling, clever metafictional mystery novel, The Story of Marceau Miller is about isolation, personal purpose, and murder.”
