Reviews

Compelling, remorseless, brilliant. -- John Gray
One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories. * Guardian *
A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness. * Independent *
