10. Il ne vous reste qu'une photo à prendre - Laurent Graff
This is about a French guy in his 50s who goes on a weekend away to Rome with his girlfriend. While he's there, a man comes up to them, takes a photo of them and then says "You only have one photo left to take", gives him a card with his address on it and walks away, all mysterious and that. It turns out the guy has been chosen for this game with four other people; they go on a trip together and are only allowed to take one last photo, after which they are 'out'.
It's a good story and everything, but I thought the writer could have developed everything a bit more - the characters, the plot, and especially the setting. I like to read a book and feel like I was actually there, in the time and place, afterwards. I never got that with this, and I never felt much for the characters one way or the other. It was really nicely written though. Not a bad read altogether.
