Can you recommend some French detective novels set in the woods?

Well, I'm not sure specifically which French detective novels are set in the woods off the top of my head. But it makes sense that there would be some. The woods can offer a sense of danger and the unknown. A detective might have to search for clues among the trees, deal with strange characters who lurk in the forest, and uncover hidden motives related to the wooded area. For example, perhaps a valuable item was hidden in the woods and a crime was committed to obtain it.

Yes, the Fox of France was a historical novel with the French Revolution as its background. It told the story of a naturally cowardly engineering man who traveled to France before the Great Revolution and became the brother of the future Emperor Napoleon. The choice he faced was to cling to this thigh and wait for death, or to seize the opportunity to create his own great cause? I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~

Well, 'The Woods' by Harlan Coben is a good choice. The story unfolds in the woods and is filled with twists and turns typical of a thriller mystery. It keeps you on the edge of your seat as the secrets in the woods are gradually revealed. Also, 'In the Woods' by Tana French has a complex mystery set in a wooded area that involves a detective's past and present investigations.

The 'Arsene Lupin' stories by Maurice Leblanc can also be considered in a way. Although Lupin is more of a gentleman thief, there are elements of detective - like problem - solving in the novels as he outwits the police and other adversaries. These stories are known for their clever plots and the charm of the main character.

One more is 'The Phantom of the Opera' by Gaston Leroux, which has elements of detective work as well as mystery and horror. The story unfolds in the Paris Opera House, and the detective work to uncover the truth about the phantom is really engaging.

Sure. 'The Adventures of Arsène Lupin' is a good start. The stories are exciting and not too complex. Lupin's character is very appealing and the plots are full of action and mystery.

Sure. One of the well - known French detective novels is 'The Chalet' by Catherine Cooper. It has a great likeness in terms of creating a suspenseful atmosphere like many classic detective novels. The characters are complex and the plot twists keep you guessing.

One great French countryside detective novel is 'Bruno, Chief of Police' by Martin Walker. It's set in the idyllic French countryside and follows Bruno as he solves various mysteries. The descriptions of the countryside add a charming backdrop to the detective work.

Another great French detective series is 'Commissaire Adamsberg' by Fred Vargas. Adamsberg is an eccentric detective with a unique way of thinking. The novels often have complex and engaging mysteries, set against the backdrop of French culture and society.

I would recommend 'The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun'. It has a simple yet engaging mystery that new readers can easily understand. Also, 'Murder in the Marais' is a good choice as it has a clear - cut detective story set in an interesting French location.
