Sunday Salon: Reading in French

I didn't get any books this past week. Well, maybe a paperback mystery or two.
We were busy putting away winter stuff and getting ready for summer, getting the air in for the upcoming 90 degree weather tomorrow and a few more days next week. My newer books are in piles and I can't make heads or tails of them in that condition! Plus, they are mixed up with my library books!

I'm reading a mystery novel in French by Michel Bussi, and was surprised that my college lessons came back to help me. I can actually understand much of the book, but I'm glad for the help my Kindle Fire gives with a French-English dictionary that I can refer to right on the reading device.
Mourir Sur Seine by Michel Bussi, January 2015.
The book is set in Rouen, France during the Armada, or Tall Ships Festival, held in the city every four years. Boats and ships from all over the world come to the shores for a nine-day show and  a town fiesta that can have as many as a million visitors. Of course, in this novel there is a murder to be solved.

Hope your reading goes well this week. It will be hot here, good for staying inside with a book or two!
