A review by richardhannay
Chourmo by Jean-Claude Izzo

3.0

A very good "noir". Good plot, fast paced. Excellent supporting cast and a very good detectived, marred only by the political obsessions of Izzo that do not fit well the character of Montale. At one time he condones the pederasty of someone "whose life were kids" because for Montale good intentions always trump consequences and the only real sin would be that of racism. But apart from that this is an excellent read and Fabio Montale could very well be some distant relative of Rebus.
