About the author

Né en 1958 à Namur, Denis Lapière se lance dans des études de sociologie, après avoir un peu goûté aux frissons de la course automobile. Au milieu des années 1980, il fait partie des fondateurs la librairie Tropica BD à Charleroi, qui devient le point de rencontre de bon nombre de dessinateurs. À leur contact, Lapière commence à écrire des scénarios, qui petit à petit trouvent leur place dans le paysage éditorial. Il débute dans Spirou, en fournissant des histoires courtes, puis publie son premier album en 1987 : "Mauro Caldi" avec Michel Constant aux Éditions du Miroir. En 1990, il entame "Charly" avec Magda, un thriller fantastique qui fera frémir plus d'un lecteur du journal Spirou. Dans les années qui suivent, Denis scénarise plusieurs titres de la collection Aire Libre, nouveau terrain d'expression de la bande dessinée adulte aux Éditions Dupuis. Avec Jean-Philippe Stassen, il imagine "Le Bar du Vieux Français" , récompensé par de nombreux prix un peu partout dans le monde. Pour Paul Gillon, il écrit "La Dernière des salles obscures" ou le destin d'un producteur de cinéma à travers le vingtième siècle. Tout en continuant ses collaborations adultes (avec Pellejero ou Mezzomo, notamment), Lapière poursuit la réalisation de bandes familiales comme "Ludo" (avec Bailly et Mathy), "Oscar" (avec Durieux) ou une reprise de "Tif et Tondu" (avec Sikorski). Dans les années 2000, Denis Lapière vit plusieurs expériences en tant que scénariste pour le cinéma (avec Pierre-Paul Renders) ou dans un rôle éditorial (il lance les collections "Punaise" et "Puceron" chez Dupuis). Au début des années 2010, il mène de front deux projets d'envergure : la série chorale "Alter Ego" et les nouvelles aventures de "Michel Vaillant" qu'il co-scénarise avec Philippe Graton. Avec près de cent albums à son actif, Denis Lapière fait partie des scénaristes actuels les plus accomplis.

Scénariste chevronné avec près de cent albums à son actif, Denis Lapière a touché avec brio à la plupart des genres en bande dessinée. La justesse et l'humanité de ses personnages sont unanimement saluées.

---

Denis Lapière, geboren op 8 augustus 1958 in Namen, is als beheerder van een stripboekhandel al beroepsmatig geïnteresseerd in het beeldverhaal, maar in 1987 begint hij ook scenario's te schrijven: voor Eric Maltaite ("Mono Jim" in L'ECHO DES SAVANES), Jean-Philippe Stassen ("Bahamas", en vervolgens "Bull White" bij Albin Michel), Michel Constant (de reeks "Mauro Caldi" in de Miroir, en daarna bij Alpen) en Peter Pluut ("Jerry et Line" bij Dargaud).

In 1989 start hij met Olivier Wozniak "Alice en Leopold" in ROBBEDOES, met Magda "Charly" en met Alain Sikorski neemt hij "Baard en Kale" weer op. In de Vrije-Vluchtcollectie verschijnt in 1992 zijn "Brieven uit de bar", getekend door Stassen. In dezelfde collectie zien we hem een paar jaar later terug met Paul Gillon voor het verhaal over een filmproducent in de vorige eeuw, in een nieuw tweeluik "De laatste knusse zaal".

Vaardig wisselt hij reeksen voor de jeugd en volwassener werk met elkaar af. Op het eerste vlak gaat hij met Pierre Bailly en Vincent Mathy werken aan de dagelijkse avonturen van de kleine "Ludo" en zijn favoriete stripheld, "Castar", een verbluffend grafisch "quatre-mains"-product. Met Gilles Mezzomo en "Luka" stort hij zich in het thrillergenre en toont zijn talent als mysteriebedenker voor een volwassen publiek. Voor Vrije Vlucht schrijft hij eveneens het schitterende "Blauwe rook", geïllustreerd door Pellejero.

In 2000 vernieuwt hij het genre van de "whodunit", alweer met Alain Sikorski, met "De sleutel van het mysterie", een nieuwe grote detectivereeks voor alle leeftijden. En in januari 2001 zet hij, met Christian Durieux als tekenaar, de mythe van het straatjochie op losse schroeven met "Oscar", een frisse, vernieuwende avonturenreeks.

Definitely an interesting start to the trilogy! I'd be very intrigued to see where things go after that cliffhanger. No spoilers here, but Rose has some sort of strange ability where she can perform a sort of astral projection: her soul leaves her body and wanders around untethered, allowing her to eavesdrop, speak to ghosts, and now, investigate her father's murder. The art is simple but nice and the translation is well-done.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Really nice mystery comic! Not too dark, in fact not really dark at all, but a solid story that hook me up and I do want to know how it will go on. Will look for the next one out there!

3.5 stars out of 5.

This first volume is very promising for an entertaining and thrilling series of graphic novels. The story itself suits different ages, it's not too dark or too disturbing and is in a way innovative.
I find the idea of including the magical element really smart and hooking. I myself have so many unanswered questions right now and I'd definitely read the volumes to come in hopes of finding answers.
The art is well-executed and suitable for the elements of the story.

4.5 stars.

I enjoyed this very much though too bad it was kinda short because I wanted more! The mystery was really interesting and there's not much clues given to predict the solution. The artstyle was really cute, it kinda reminded me of the artstyle of Snoopy in a way.

Though the sypnosis says she can double herself, it is more accurate to say that she can astral project herself out of her body while her body just stays motionless wherever she leaves it.

Overall, this was a good read and I'd definitely continue the series because that mystery is interesting and I want to know the answer.

I’ve seen the French edition of this graphic novel--Rose by authors Denis Lapière and Émilie Alibert and illustrator Valérie Vernay on display at the library where I work, and so when I saw it available on NetGalley translated in English I thought I’d give it a try. It appears to be the first part of a three-part series. When I checked my library catalogue, I saw that the three volumes are currently out in French, so I’m hoping the two others will get translated as well. It would be frustrating for readers to read the first one and never get to know how it ends. I suppose I could always attempt to read them in French if I have to…

This graphic novel centers on Rose, a young woman who has the ability to leave her body and see ghosts since she was a child. Following her father’s murder, she encounters three spirits unable to move on, condemned to live forever in the old building where they died, owned by Rose’s father. As the story progresses, we learned that her father’s murder might have been related to a bigger ongoing investigation, and Rose learns some terrible truths.

The story is interesting enough, but not something I haven’t seen before. What I really like is that the pages aren’t text-heavy; the ratio text to illustration is well-balanced. That said, the graphics are really simple and I don’t particularly like the style or the colouring—obviously, that’s really subjective—but the story kept me engaged and I definitely want to know what happened and how the mystery will unfold.

I’d recommend this if you’re in the mood for a quick, enjoyable mystery and if you don’t mind waiting for the next two parts.

This is part murder mystery, part family mystery, and part supernatural story. Rose has a unique power to step outside of her body. She can also see what others cannot. The murder of her father sends her on a quest.

In some ways, this reminds me of an older Veronica Mars with a dead father and unique ability besides her mind.

The artwork is nice, and it is quite clear when Rose steps outside of herself and when she is really interacting in the world, physically.

There are not many answers in this first volume, but the idea is strongly developed and the story engaging.

★★,5☆☆ | A quick and easy read.

Rose has been able to 'double' herself and leave her body since she was a kid. Now that her father was just murdered she uses it to find more about what has happened to him.

The concept is interesting but I felt nothing special about it. There's a mystery. A man who's officially responsible for the investigation. Some supernatural happenings. Her father's secrets.
-- In other words, a basic mystery.

I liked the art though -- it's a bit simplistic but just the appropriate amount and the play with colours while Rose 'walks' out of her body is interesting.

All in all, it's not something groundbreaking but if you're not in a mood for anything heavy, it's not the worst half an hour to spent either.

[Queen Cronut · Rating 4 out of 5]

Part paranormal, part mystery with vibes of Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado". A short and quick read with less than 50 pages- it was an excellent start to series. Can't wait for the next installment because I have so many questions that need to be answered.

Rose always had been special. From a young age she was able to 'double' herself and her spirit could travel outside of her body. She realized at an early age as well that not all kids were able to do such a thing.

After her father's death she starts to use this gift to try and find out who killed his father and why.

A great start of a trilogy and I am definitely intrigued and interested in finding more about this mystery and Rose. Really well developed characters for a short graphic novel and great plot that opens a mystery to be solved.

[Kelsey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rose: A Double Life is a short graphic novel (the first in a series of three) about Rose, who has the ability to basically astral project outside herself and wander the realm of ghosts. She can talk to and interact with ghosts and eavesdrop on those around her, all which comes in handy when her father is found murdered and she has to investigate not only his death, but also the deaths of three people whose spirits are unable to pass on. I loved the setup of the story and everything that happened plot-wise and the overall art style that's simple yet charming; the story did end on a cliffhanger, so I can't wait to read the next two books!

When you read a lot of graphic novels, you begin to notice a trend with them and that is they often seem to end episodically. Rather than feeling like you got a full story, or novel, or even movie you are left feeling as though the whole thing really fits more into the realm of an episode of a show. Now, there are the few rare and wonderful occasions, but Rose by Denis Lapière and Émilie Alibert, illustrated by Valérie Vernay really does fall more into the episodic kind of graphic novel. And there are good and bad things about this.

Rose begins with the death of the main character's father, following her through grief and denial as she deals not only with his passing but inheriting his home. And Rose has a power, a special ability that allows her to basically astral project from her body into the spirit world, more or less. And it is this ability that eventually leads her down the path of uncovering the truth behind her father's murder and some secrets he kept to himself over the years.

All in all, I was pretty impressed with this story as a whole. I loved the premise, which is amazing considering the fact that I don't typically go for murder mysteries. Each twist and turn was so much fun to read through. And in fact, it left me rather eager to find out what happens next. As a wonderful added bonus, the artwork throughout this graphic novel was some of the best I've ever seen. I had a lot of fun reading it.

In the end, I've come to realize however that I'm not overly fond of the episodic-like graphic novels. I feel as though the story we were given was half-finished. Nothing was really tied up at all in the end and we were instead left with a sort of cliff hanger that basically served to inform us that there would be more of the story to come in the next installment. Ultimately, I just feel like readers needed more time with rose, more time with those living in her father's building, and more time with the story as a whole.

Still, I look forward to reading the next episode.

Super quick read. I’m guessing this is the first in a series or at least I really hope so because it didn’t feel finished at all but I was really enjoying it, so I hope there will be a second (third, fourth, fifth) issue in the coming future.

COMMENTO PERSONALE: Ricordo che vidi questa graphic novel da qualcuno l’anno scorso e mi piacque come idea. L’ho trovata a metà prezzo su libraccio e ho deciso di conseguenza di darle una possibilità. Non mi è spiaciuta per nulla ma c’è quel non so che, che non mi ha convinta nella totalità. Essendo in ambito di omicidio e indagine i toni che assume questa garphic novel sono molto scuri e il colore prevalente è indubbiamente il nero. Rose non capisce le motivazioni o le circostanze che hanno portato il padre a morire. Si affida a un ispettore che vuole sapere tutto sia sull’edificio in cui ella risiede attualmente, sia se emergessero altre prove che… Una capacità che ha la protagonista è quella di sdoppiarsi: le succede soprattutto quando qualcuno alza il tono della voce nei confronti e in questo caso si ritrova al di fuori del suo corpo. Non riesce a spiegarsi perché ciò le accada ma tutto si fa più chiaro ritornando all’assassinio del padre e soprattutto alla scoperta di avere una gemella! Rose non riesce a capacitarsi di come possa essere stata tanto ingenua e in modo particolare il fatto che sia stata ingannata con molta facilità. Poi scopre anche qualcosa di sorprendente di collegato a quella casa e alla sua storia. Inoltre comprende come possa aiutare quegli spiriti che solo lei è in grado di vedere: deve essere capace di arrivare a perdonare. Ma il cammino del perdono è semplice? Oppure preferirà la via più semplice che è quella della vendetta? Lo scoprirete con molta probabilità soltanto prendendo questo albo in mano e lasciandovi andare alla lettura di questa storia.

Double via (Rose #1) a mystery/thriller with kind of historical background. I will be honest. I picked this book because of the cover and I really didn't know what was going to happen here.

BUT!! it was just amazing. rose has an ability to split into two (kind of an astral projection). the book starts as she got to know her father died and the mystery starts right away from the starting. the graphics were just perfect with the projection of the characters - soft but sharp from edges. I really liked that how rose is shown coloured after she gets splits, it resembles that she is alive.

I think its a perfect start to a mystery/thriller with just a little information in the first part. the characters are not completely described, but they all seem very mysterious. what else, ohhh yess, omg how could I forget that this book took place in France, so you can experience that in the graphics (wow!). this book has everything that I like - supernatural powers, murder, ghosts. moreover, its a graphic novel, so you should pick this us.

Depuis très longtemps, il me tente. J'ai sauté dessus quand j'ai vu les 2 tomes disponibles à la bibliothèque sachant que le 3e sortira en janvier, l'occasion était trop belle.

Le dessin est assez jeunesse, c'est d'ailleurs dans ce rayon que je l'ai trouvé à la bibliothèque, pourtant, j'y ai trouvé une histoire plus grave que ce que je m'attendais : Rose est confrontée à la mort de son père et on ne rend compte que sa mort n'est peut-être pas "naturelle". À cela s'ajoute une pointe de surnaturel.

Un premier tome accrocheur qui me donne bien envie de me plonger dans le second !

[Nathalie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un petit soupçon d'extraordinaire dans beaucoup d'ordinaire, c'est la vie de Rose qui possède un bien étrange pouvoir : elle peut se dédoubler.
J'aime ce subtil dosage entre ce qui est tout à fait plausible et ce qui l'est nettement moins. Et surtout j'aime le mystère qui s'épaissit car ce n'est que le premier volume de ce qui sera une trilogie.

L'intrigue est bien menée et cela monte, monte crescendo (le suspens) jusqu'à ce que l'on arrive au final de cet album et que l'on reste sur notre faim. Arg !!!! Dur, mais tellement bien fait aussi que l'on pardonnera... En lisant la suite quand elle sera disponible pour septembre prochain nous promettons.

Les graphismes ne sont pas du genre que je préfère en général, mais là je me suis laissée convaincre par les couleurs, le rythme (fausse lenteur), la gestuelle... Il y a indéniablement un ingrédient mystère dans cette BD. Cela nous happe.

Les silences prennent une place importante ici. Ils laissent vagabonder nos esprits de lecteurs et je vous pris de croire que cela mouline dur dans nos caboches.
On est envoûté par un je ne sais quoi.

In Rose, a young woman returns home for her father's funeral, and discovers that there is more to his murder than expected. His fits a pattern, and she is not sure what the intent of the murderer is. Besides that, she has her own mystery at home - a trio of ghosts who are tied to her father's place, without knowing why. With her astral projection, she is able to collect information and discern the presence of ghosts. Now this power definitely feels like it has a lot of potential but I am first of all stumped how she never came across the ghosts before, or did they die after she left? The art is cool, and very atmospheric. The story, for the most part, moves very slowly and we barely know anything about any character before they are dropped on us without introduction. So, while I like this first chapter, I am still in a more 'let's see' mind when it comes to whether I will continue the series.

Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review from Europe Comics, via Edelweiss.

In 'A Double Life' we get to know Rose, a girl with the ability to leave her body (hence the subtitle) and walk around ghost-like, invisible to everyone besides ghosts. When she visits the house of her recently deceased father, she learns there are three ghosts inhabiting the place, unable to leave. They tell Rose about the mysterious circumstance of her father's murder, and thus the opening is set for the story to unfold...

I loved the clear, smooth style of the illustrations without hard contours and in soft coloring, perfectly accentuating the dream-like quality of Rose's out-of-body episodes. Add to that a puzzling murder case and a couple ghosts with their own mysterious history - now I definitely can't wait for the story to continue.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this graphic novel!
Eerie!
This graphic novel is set in France, where Rose lives: she has the strange ability to double herself and travel outside of her body (kind of like astral projection), while no one sees her. Because of these absent episodes her colleagues at the art gallery find her quite odd.
Rose's estranged father worked as a detective until recently, when someone shot him, most likely connected to his investigations.
Now she decides to use her abilty to investigate his murder and she finds things that she can scarcely believe...

Wow! I would like to continue reading right now!
A murder mystery with supernatural elements, quick to read, dramatic scenes... but also those gorgeous, atmospheric stills of French landscape sparkled in. I found myself magnetized!

Rose: A Double Life was an interesting little volume. It manages to pack in death, ghosts, witches, special powers, murder, and an ongoing police case in less than 60 pages. I didn't find myself super engaged, but enjoyed it while it lasted and the colors used (greys, blues, and soft yellows) were lovely.

Rose had a great atmosphere throughout the whole story that really intensified the darker plot.
The plot itself was also quite intriguing, especially with the cliffhanger at the end that left you wanting more.
My only problem with Rose is that I didn’t really feel any emotional connection with the characters. I liked Rose and found her interesting, but I wasn’t 100% invested in her story.

Desde que era chiquita, Rose tuvo un poder especial y complicado: puede "duplicarse" a sí misma y salir de su cuerpo, casi como un fantasma. Siempre lo vió como algo malo, hasta ahora. Cuando su padre es asesinado, Rose logra ver su habilidad como una oportunidad de encontrar al asesino de su padre, resolver algunos misterios pendientes e intentar acabar con una maldición de siglos. Pero algunos secretos deberían quedar sepultados...

Ésta historia es una trilogía ya publicada en francés, y recién tenemos el primer tomo traducido al inglés. Y si bien no es una historia que no hayamos visto antes, tengo mucha fé en el enfoque que toma la misma desde el primer tomo.

I really enjoyed this comic book! the script is concise and explains enough for you to get hooked on the plot. It's also very simple on the drawing and colouring side, which i also enjoyed a lot.
This story is a trilogy already published in French, and we just have the first volume translated into English. And although it is not a story that we have not seen before, I have a lot of faith in the approach it takes from the first volume.
In general I liked it a lot and I want to continue reading more of this story.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Europe comics for providing a copy of “Rose: A Double life” for my opinion and review. I loved reading this graphic novel and thought it was a great start to the trilogy!

Firstly, I really liked Rose as the main character. She has the unique ability to project out of her body and interact with ghosts, and I found this to be a very unique concept. Moreover, the story-line is very intriguing with quite a few mysterious plots that are somehow all tied together. Some of the characters are also very strange, like Rose’s friend who is working on her father’s case. I liked the supernatural element thrown into the story so you don’t know how it is going to turn out. Furthermore, the three ghosts in the apartment are entertaining and provide a bit of a comic relief as well in the story.

The pacing is a bit slow but I felt works really well with the theme of the story. In addition, Valérie Vernay has done a wonderful job with the illustrations. Each panel is like watching a movie where we see Rose walk the streets lost in her thoughts. I also liked the idea of how the Rose’s surroundings turn grey when she is out of her body. Moreover, the publishing company have also done a nice job with the translation. Few of these ‘dubbed’ comics seem to lose their edge when translated in English, but this still managed to hold the suspense level.

In short, “Rose: A double life” perfectly sets the tone for the trilogy and I cannot wait to pick up the next installments to read. Overall, this is a good book if you want to pick up a graphic novel with mystery, suspense, historical reference, murder and ghosts!

[Andra · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this first book of a new series really much. It had the right amount of mystery and satisfying turns of events, and the graphic art is simply beautiful. I would definitely recommend this if you like mysterious stories that centre on father-daughter relationships, self-development, crime investigations and just a hint of paranormal. The time jumps in the book were a bit confusing at times and the narrator and voice being changed so often is maybe also a bit confusing, but you do get used to them relatively quickly and then they're fine. The idea of a person who can double herself just like that is definitely very interesting and I think it has a lot of potential. I can't wait to see how this will come in handy at some point during the story, and how the character's personality and special abilities will help in solving the case of her father's death. However, I did find Rose to be a bit bland as a character besides her power. I just felt like her reactions to what's heppening and to her father's death were a bit unnatural, colorless if you want. But maybe her way of acting will be further explained in the sequels. As it ended in a cliffhanger, I'm very much looking forward to the sequel because I'm dying to know what happens. ***SPOILER ALERT*** My guess is that her father's colleague, the investigator working on the case, is the criminal. But it remains to be seen.

Since childhood, Rose realizes that she has a special ability, something strange that only happens to her: double herself and travel outside her body. Years later, his father is murdered and in the clarification of the case, she discovers a series of events that have marked the history of her home, her family and herself.

The duality in the handling of the tones used in the graphic novel highlights the different worlds in which Rose lives, the restlessness that this generates and everything that causes for those around her. Artistically, melancholy and nostalgia are felt stage after stage, which goes hand in hand with the narration.

The story is turning from the familiar to the paranormal, to close with an ending that I did not see coming and that leaves me eager to see how Rose will solve the mystery that hangs over her.

An interesting aspect in the construction of the novel goes with the spaces that the author gives to Rose's father to tell us his version of events and gradually clarify (or entangle) more the loom.

A light graphic novel (perhaps more than I would like), entertaining, visually beautiful and with a powerful ending.
