This was a wonderful classic containing courtroom drama, a murder mystery, the lingering impact of WWII, the French resistance, the strange relationship between the English and the French, some sloppy police work, some proper police work and numerous shady characters. A mystery solved by logic and hard slogging with no DNA, no mobile phones and no internet. Well written, fast paced and very enjoyable.
A British Library Crime Classics novel published by Poisoned Pen and currently available on NetGalley.
