Media Reviews
Praise for Dard's thrillers:
'The French master of noir' Observer
'Disturbing from the outset with strong echoes of Dard's hero Simenon' Sunday Times Crime Club (star pick)
'Spellbinding' Wall Street Journal
'Melancholy and atmospheric, with a twist worthy of Agatha Christie at her devious best... classic French noir' Guardian
'Alongside the Maigret novels of Georges Simenon there is a rich vein of period French crime still to be tapped. Fr d ric Dard is a case in point' Daily Mail
