#readingeurope2020 My 1st trip in this challenge was a quick hop across the channel to read for the 1st time a classic crime author Georges Simenon, not a maigret but a dark picture of a yng man in occupied France. Like raskolnikov, frank friedmaeir is a yng man living in his mother's brothel who commits crimes which eventually he cannot forgive himself for and his subsequent arrest and interview reads like a chess match. On to maigret i think.
