Kittys Notes & Book Snippet

Maigret was on holiday when Monsieur Bouvet disconcerted everyone by falling dead as he was examining old prints at a booksellers stall beside the Seine.

A smart young American tourist photographed the body and sold the picture to a newspaper. And then the fun began as people recognised the dead man.

Madame Jeanne, knew very well that this was Rene Bouvet. Mrs Marsh swore he was her husband Samuel and intrigue followed.

A typically wonderful evocative Mid Century Crime tale set in the wonderfully atmospheric Paris of the 1950's era.
