From the depths of their burrow, Les 2 Marmottes have nibbled at Patrick Beuzé's latest novel, Versant Secret.
Patrick Beuzé is a local boy. A journalist, teacher, and writer, he has one thing in common with Les 2 Marmottes: he lives in Haute-Savoie.
His passion for the mountains, nature, and wide open spaces have inspired many successful novels (a bit like us, with our infusions). Delving into his latest book, we follow in the footsteps of Martin Grismons (nothing to do with our Grison infusion), a forty-something Parisian and pharmaceutical industry executive in the midst of burnout.
To get back on his feet and get a change of scenery, he settles down in the mountains for a few weeks, at the bottom of a farm. Upon his arrival, he is intrigued by the woman nicknamed in the valley "the goat woman." A very beautiful outsider, suspected of being involved in the death of an English historian...
Fascinated by this shepherdess with her disturbing beauty, Martin decides to tame the young woman and discover the truth. What is she guilty of? In trying to help her exorcise the past, Martin will discover a shocking secret... The infusion that will accompany you page after page? It's Winter Frissons ! A little cinnamon and clove to follow the investigation with fervor, a sprig of thyme and eucalyptus to reawaken the ardor of feelings... We won't tell you any more!
