Mystery of Henri Pick, The
“An easily digestible and highly cultivated whodunit that's perhaps the very definition of middlebrow, though that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.”~Hollywood Reporter
Aroview: Delectable literary-themed French comedy caper based on the book of the same name by David Foenkinos.
The titular Henri Pick is a mysterious author who has been dead for two years when his previously ignored novel is a break out success. But one literary critic is skeptical of the novel's authorship and sets out to uncover the truth. A cosy, bookish whodunit set in and around the Parisian publishing scene.

4 stars (Very Good) A witty script; fresh & delightfully different. Deflates the literary establishment & at the same time is a curious mystery; a classic film-within-a-film. A spoof on TV reviewers & French regional parochialism; dedicated instead to writers & publishers. ~Anon
2 stars (Good Try) Typical of mystery writing is that you get the run around instead of the story simply going from A to B. ~Tubbs
