Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. My first, and probably my last, outing with Chief Inspector Littlejohn. Plot was way too complicated for me, involving a cascading series of affaires d’honneur settled by faked duels, suicides, and accidents. Just the sort of things you have to expect from those Froggies, and yet they’re such jolly good cooks. Author clearly well-acquainted with this area of High Provence, and also with the small details of Catholic practice. Littlejohn and his wife are a pleasant pair—-a sort of watered-down Troy and Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn. But I am not surprised that they have faded away while Ngaio Marsh has retained an audience. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A British detective goes undercover in the South of France to investigate a suspicious death in this twisting mystery.A British ministry official wants Inspector Littlejohn to look into the death of his brother and sister-in-law who were killed in an automobile accident outside a small village in southern France. Though the French police ruled it an accident, the official isn't satisfied. Something seems wrong. With no jurisdiction in Provence, Littlejohn must investigate unofficially. So, he and his wife decide to vacation in the area. Soon witnesses start disappearing, the couple discovers they're being followed, and the local marquis tells Littlejohn that it may be time to go back home. But the detective isn't going anywhere until he solves the deadly mystery that reaches back to a shooting incident from before World War II. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I liked Inspector Littlejohn and his wife & the Provence setting was well described. The unofficial case he had been asked to look into was intriguing and I liked the fact that at the end, the author gives us information about the fate of the guilty, something that often gets overlooked. ( )
