A review by cathiedalziel
The Executioner Weeps by Frédéric Dard

4.0

Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for an advance copy of this book.

Excellent crime thriller read that was first published in 1956 by Frederic Dard and now has been translated so that more can enjoy his suspenseful noir-like writing. He really knows how to write a book steeped in psychological suspense. Think of Dard as a French Alfred Hitchcock; just as good, if not better.

The story takes place in Barcelona between a vacationing Frenchman and a beautiful woman. I will let you know there is an accident, amnesia, a relationship and excellent excellent tension and suspense.

This one is worth reading.
