Twelfth installment of investigation of the former chief inspector Higgins.

In this series that mixes old and new puzzles Rewritten one that interests us is part of the first category. Directly related to the news, the documentation on which rests Christian Jacq is visibly developed. Again, the suspense going after the plot and protagonists characters are brushed with precision and little indulgence towards French. Coming from a Columbia, you can subscribe, coming from the author, we can question these unkind remarks.
The style of the author is still as delightfully academic, and essential passages on the presentation of Higgins, Marlow, Mary and Trafalgar, are not absent. It's good for discovering the series for the first time, it brings a smile beyond the fifth book but you let yourself go to these idiosyncrasies of the author, which is reminiscent of the descriptions we Poirot in the numerous written surveys by Agatha Christie. As a madeleine of Proust, we savor this novel a rainy Sunday afternoon, a rug over his knees, with a cup of Earl Grey best.
