About book Hector Et Les Secrets De L'amour (2008)

While Francois Lelord's first Hector book, Hector and the Search for Happiness was one of the best (new) books I've read in a long time, Hector and the Secrets of Love disappointed. The charming qualities that kept me laughing in Search for Happiness were missing from Search for Love. I found myself having to push myself to finish the book. I kept hoping that something redeeming would happen, but alas I found myself happy that the book had finally come to a close. Hector once again travels the world, this time in search of the meaning of love. This time, Hector is hired as a consultant by the CEO of a large pharmaceutical company, and soon finds that his girlfriend is having an affair with the CEO. Oops. He has been hired to find a psychologist who invented a love drug for the company, but who has absconded with his research. Along the way Hector keeps running into a personable but shady character with a great many skills most likely learned in the secret service. It's all a good deal of fun.
