Total Chaos by Jean-Claude Izzo, Howard Curtis
4.0
My first foray into French Noir. You can smell Marseilles when you read this book - the city is the main character and he brings it to life perfectly.
My only gripe is that as a Guardian reading, middle class, middle aged man the rather, um, "old fashioned" (and, dare I say it, French) attitudes to the female characters grates a bit occasionally. But not enough to detract from a great book.
