Love Doc Ford..and Thomlinson of course! Especially love the earlier books when Doc stayed more at home and the local eccentrics had a larger roles- alot of the recent books- while very well written- have a different feel to them.

Per wrote: "Reading The Bells of Bicetre by , I'm a big fan of his, and this book is very good so far."

Per I have read Georges Simenon, and enjoyed his mysteries- yet I find it upsetting that he waswidely believed to be anti-semetic..even writing many virulent anti- semetic articles in 1932..here is an interesting study- brief on him. Sad- but sometime one must separate the books fromj the writer
