4.0 out of 5 stars
Simenon vs. Japrisot,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The 10:30 from Marseille (Mass Market Paperback)
The inevitable comparison when confronting a French mystery would have to be with Simenon and his Maigret series. In which sense, Japrisot's The 10:30 from Marseille is less a master inspector's point-of-view mystery than an ensemble presentation. Victim and witness get as much attention as the protagonist detective, and we learn more about his superiors and subordinates as well. The result is a psychological potpourri as interesting as the whodunit, though Japrisot also gives the reader a more intricate puzzle to solve than anything I've come across in Simenon. If not for the too neat scramble at the end to tie up every loose end--some of which did not need tying up--I would have given this book five stars.I Think, Therefore Who Am I?
