Readable prose, but you can see how Simenon was able to churn these out. Popinga's psychology felt obvious and hollow. I won’t be rushing to read his other four hundred novels.

Libro bellissimo, Simenon si conferma ancora una volta un grandissimo scrittore.
Quando il protagonista

si dà alla fuga mi ha ricordato molto "I Baffi" di Carrere.

Quanta follia nella mente umana.
