My biggest complaint with issue #2 was the lack of background about Marcel Petoit. This issue filled in a lot of his history gaps that I was craving. We see him blow himself up in WW1 and hear terrible stories of him as a child. Is it all hearsay? I am highly doubtful.


We jump to the questioning of Mme. Petoit about her husband. Jodkum seems to do a poor job interrogating her. Georges Victor-Massau tries a gentler approach with his questions. She claims he is innocent, despite the couple blips on his criminal record. The police have no idea as to why and how he killed those people. He is bold enough to leave a note for Georges. He is almost caught in a chase but manages to get away.


I liked this issue more than the last. It was fascinating. I think Georgette Petoit knows more than she is letting on, and hopefully, I will get to find out next issue.
