Kudo to Van Gulik

I had excellent memories, although very distant (if you knew how many years ...), Ti Judge investigations told by the very learned Robert Van Gulik. Having recently rediscovered our good judge reading of one of his adventures by Lenormand, I completed my collection of titles that I missed at Van Gulik. The funny it was comparing this boat-de-flowers, close houseboat, and the "Palace of Courtesans", since both authors discuss the same topic, crime and prostitution, in their own way. A bit like a second volume written forty years later. The Ti judge he would be like the Buddha, called to reincarnate regularly to enlighten us with his intelligence?
