Re: Books you read recently that you hated.

La Chambre des Morts was a detective novel edgy for the sake of being edgy, the 2nd half of the book is the main character trying to find the killer before he kills another girl BUT you never actually find out if the girl made it or not, and at the end there's the random death of a random cop so you're afraid for about 30 sec for the main character.


It got praised and won two prizes so I guess French detective novels suck if Fred Vargas isn't the author.

Have you read any Georges Simenon? He's always my first thought when I think of French detective novels. Or have you tried and now you're including him in the non-Fred Vargas authors? I just don't know how obvious what I'm asking is or not.

Sorry. I should have precised currently writing French detective novel authors. La Chambre des Morts is from 2005.

I haven't started digging up the older stuff, both Fred Vargas and Franck Thilliez were introduced to me by my mom and I'm not actively seeking out new authors. I am just thinking that if Franck Thilliez is seen as one of the bests it's bad new for me.
