This is probably a really good book for people that speak English and trying to learn French. (Which I am not) I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway.

This French reader includes audio tracks for the main story, followed by a Q/A set reinforcing the vocabulary of each section, with each part written in French and English. Each chapter continues the story of a cop investigating a bank robbery and the complications he runs into along the way. Even though I haven't finished the book yet due to time issues, I found the story engaging and hilarious at times, and will definitely listen to the rest. I want to know how it ends. The audio is clear and easy understand, plus you can follow along in the book. As an intermediate French speaker (B2'ish), I had no trouble understanding the dialogue. I highly recommend this French reader to anyone wanting something a little different from the usual French lessons.

Summary: Highly recommended to intermediate French students, mystery lovers and anyone looking for something more than the usual French textbook material.
