The third of these highly readable novels set in Paris during the Occupation, all with the same protagonist Jean Casson, a film producer, scrabbling to survive under the Nazis. I have enjoyed reading all three, and there are several more, which is good news. Excellent travel reading.

Wonderful. Cranky old people sharing a house. Remarkable. Simple and funny and true.

Short bits, true stories, odd bites. Quite readable and occasionally quite remarkable.

Casson the film producer is blackmailed into working for the Gestapo in occupied Paris. But he escapes to find his love the actress Citrine.

The beginning of the Occupation of Paris, and fun and games amongst the poor Parisians left to deal with the German Army and the Gestapo. An ex-Austrian American film star shooting in Paris is manipulated by Gestapo agents. With Casson, a film producer, his ex-wife and current loves.

Short stories. Western. Sparse and wonderful. Mostly dialogue and action. Highly readable.

A non-Maigret brilliant book about a little man suspected of a crime. A small masterpiece.

Thomas very kindly sent me his latest proof as I am such a fan. This one seems a little different from his previous work. More complicated and a bit into the territory of Le Carré. Very readable as usual and highly enjoyable. And I’m sorry to say you can’t get to read it for another month or two. But get it.

A four different viewpoint short story about odd customers of a small 50's Parisian cafe. In 2014 he won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Third and final Jane Tennison story. They represent a remarkable trilogy. Excellently written. Tense, taut and a quiet masterpiece of the genre.
