The Carter of 'La Providence'

by Georges Simenon
The next in the Maigret series and one I liked a lot. A murder on a trading canal around Paris with a host of suspects and dark pasts. I think the cliché is "vintage Maigret" 8/10

Things to Make and Break

by May-Lan Tan
This series of short stories has everything I like and hate about short stories. You get hooked very quickly to the plot driving the story and then, just as you want to know what happens next, or more about a particular character, its over. End of. If you like short stories these are good. 6/10
