review 1: Great detective story. English translation of a French text. Subtly told, with deep character development. Not a violent, bloodthirsty tale, but rather one that quietly pursues the crime's solution through intuition, detailed police efforts and thoughtful work. Pay close attention to the carefully scripted dialog - much depends upon nuance in this book. I appreciated the European reserve with which the tale unfolds.
review 2: The title just grabbed me on this one -- and I'm not quite sure why. Then the intro from the author made me smile. French mystery -- at times the translation felt a little stilted, but I really enjoyed the novel. Somewhat sparse like some of the Scandanavian crime novels. It seems like in the European crime fiction, the detectives, poli... morece, etc are more like regular people with their own faults, normal lives, and everyday challenges vs the American "super cops". The mystery piece was good, but what really intrigued me about this one was the domestic tension as the detective wonders if his wife might be having an affair. Seeing this described from a male characters point of view was different -- and European perspectives on this can be very different than in the US. All in all, a good read. less
