in Atem halten

French translation: Tenir en haleine

Marketing - Poetry & Literature / Klappentext
German term or phrase: in Atem halten
Immer noch der Klappentext für meine (persönliche) zweisprachige Kurzkrimisammlung:

"Eine Kurzkrimisammlung, die *in Atem hält* und so manche Überraschung verspricht."

Bisher habe ich geschrieben:

"Un recueil de nouvelles policières qui fait qu'on retient le souffle et qui nous réserve pas mal de surprises."

Denke aber, das würde noch besser gehen...

Welcher Muttersprachler hilft? Merci!

Example sentence(s):
  • Es ist unannehmbar, dass die Ratingagenturen und die Zentralbanken die ganze Welt in Atem halten und den Staaten diktieren, welche Politik sie zu machen haben.
  • Il est inacceptable que les agences de notation et les banques centrales tiennent le monde entier en haleine et dictent aux Etats la politique à mener.
