A book has to be good to capture my imagination and keep me wanting to turn the pages. It has to demand my attention, rudely, if necessary. It has to blend the transition between everyday life and pure, evocative horror. This book does not fall into a 'dip in occasionally' category, far from it. This book is tantalisingly teasing in its subtle, subversive, and secretive way. It tempts you to turn the pages without shouting out loud. The author has presented the reader with not only an educational taster for this beautiful jewel of an island in the Indian Ocean,but takes you there as well. You can actually taste the food, smell the street vendors mouthwatering chilli hot treats, gasp at the symphony of colours in the market in Quatre Bornes, even roast in the heat, and take your life in your hands when you cross the roads, there! Yes, the buses churn out fumes, cars that have long ceased to be seen on the roads here in the UK can be seen there, a feast indeed for enthusiasts. Flic en Flac has a magic all of its own, where you can lose yourself, literally.The sand is so white it hurts your eyes, the sea so blue, its unreal. This book builds slowly into a catalogue of events that will leave you breathless in their apparent innocence, but then the 'dark side' appears, and you wonder what happened to the last 2 hours of your life. It will lay bear your suspicious nature, and with a cruel twist of the authors pen, will leave you wondering who to trust. After reading this book, you will be demanding its sequel, or another brilliant work, and if its not forthcoming, will be complaining bitterly to this 'new kid on the block'. Read it, enjoy it, it almost comes with its own guarantee, as they say, you will not be disappointed - nor will the Mauritian Tourist Board!
