Punctual Picks #20

A twentieth Punctual Picks with its share of discoveries.

Her Majesty the Queen Investigates

At Windsor Castle, a young Russian pianist is found hanged after a dance. The suicide theory quickly takes hold. Approaching her 90th birthday, Elizabeth II senses something else and discreetly investigates.

England and I share a story stretching over two decades, woven with fascination and love for this country rich in history and charm. For twenty years, I have let myself be carried away by London’s cobbled streets, the majesty of its castles and the timeless elegance of its traditions.

When Queen Elizabeth II, an iconic figure of British royalty, becomes the heroine of a saga by S.J. Bennett, I dive into its pages with delight. Her long reign, her resilience in the face of hardship and her iconic bearing make her a captivating sleuth. Mystery lovers will also enjoy the traces of Sherlock Holmes in Switzerland (in French). For England, here is a 4-day London itinerary (in French).

Home Food Magazine

Home Food is a seasonal magazine devoted to the art of living around the table. Its first issue, published in spring, highlighted passionate women chefs and food creators. Inspiring journeys, objects for convivial tables, seasonal recipes and good addresses follow one another. This first issue won me over, and I am in fact writing these lines while reading the second.

The Count of Monte Cristo

I must have an admiration for Alexandre Dumas. I went to see The Count of Monte Cristo and simply loved it. The film, the actors, the music, everything was perfect. Pierre Niney brilliantly embodies this great character of French literature. A classic I will watch again with real pleasure.
