The de Bercy Affair by Louis Tracy is a thrilling and suspenseful mystery novel that kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The story follows the investigation of a young man who is accused of a crime he did not commit, and the twists and turns that ensue as the true culprit is revealed.
Tracy's writing is engaging and well-paced, making it easy to get caught up in the story and lose track of time while reading. The characters are well-developed and complex, adding depth to the narrative and making it easy to become emotionally invested in their fates.
Overall, I found The de Bercy Affair to be a captivating read that kept me guessing until the very end. I would highly recommend it to fans of mystery and suspense novels, as well as anyone looking for a gripping and entertaining read.
