François finished reading Playmates by Robert B. Parker
Uses all the cliches of the roman noir, a real caricature of the private eye. I find it hilarious!!!

4 short stories. Don't like it too much because i don't feel i have the necessary information to solve the crime, and that's what I'm looking for in that time of stories. So jury's out at the moment

François finished reading Le livre des Baltimore by Joël Dicker
Jusqu’au jour du Drame, il y avait deux familles Goldman. Les Goldman-de-Baltimore et les Goldman-de-Montclair.
…Très bon bouquin, dernier de la trilogie Harry Quebert. On ferme un pan secondaire de l'histoire HQ, même s'il se développe en pan primaire. Pas mon préféré des trois, masi bien fichu quand même.

Excellent suite à la non moins excellente "Affaire Harry Quebert". Numéro 2 de la trilogie, le 3ème livre, "le livre des baltimore" est clairement annoncé. Il n'est pas obligatoire d'avoir lu le précédent - les points important sont rapellés de toutes façons, mais cela aide :-) Tout à fait conseillé. Je me plonge dans le 3 de ce pas :-)

A bit disappointed by this one. First book in the serie was great, this is edging on boring with entire sections very didactic aiming at a public of which unfortunately I'm not part as I already know all that. I really got the impression that there is next to no plot and that the whole book is a pretext to explain certain stuff. mmmm come on Cory, you can do better than that!!!
