In Praise of Lies
Jose Guber is in love with a deadly woman. While writing his next crime novel, he is in search of a unique murder weapon, which is how he meets Melissa, a serologist who specializes in venomous snakes. Melissa becomes rather too interested in Jose's dastardly plots -- unashamedly plagiarized from the classics: Chesterton, Poe, Dostoevsky, his editor none the wiser -- and she especially likes the ones where diabolical women seduce and corrupt weak men. Melissa makes it clear that she would like to adapt one of the plots to dispose of her present husband, enabling Jose and Melissa to be together. -- Description from http://www.bookadda.com (Oct. 11, 2011).

The Simple Art of Killing a Woman
From best-selling Brazilian crime novelist Patrícia Melo comes a genre-defying novel that is by turns poetic, humorous, inspiring, and dark.

Celles qu'on tue
Brésil, État de l'Acre. Une jeune avocate originaire de São Paulo se rend dans cette région partiellement couverte par la forêt amazonienne pour suivre le procès des assassins d'une jeune indigène. Sur place, elle découvre la beauté hypnotique et mystérieuse de la jungle, mais aussi sa part sombre, les injustices et les tragédies vécues au quotidien par les populations locales. S'initiant aux rituels ancestraux des peuples indigènes d'Amazonie et notamment à la prise de l'ayahuasca, un puissant hallucinogène, la jeune femme s'engage dans une quête de justice, pour les femmes qui l'entourent et pour elle-même. Le roman de Patrícia Melo nous embarque entre réalité et cauchemar, dans une enquête où la violence prime sur la loi. En choisissant de tenir son intrigue dans l'État de l'Acre, dans le ventre de la jungle, l'autrice brésilienne montre la violence infligée aux femmes, mais aussi à la nature : celles qu'on tue dans l'indifférence.
