      Buried Trésor

      Oct 26, 2023

      NATIONAL TREASURES ARE EASILY taken for granted. And if they stick round long enough, people barely see them at all. For a Parisian, taking the Métro is a daily exercise little different from brushing one’s teeth. It’s a matter of routine, though arg

      A book full of atmosphere, at times super exciting, at others lyrical and poetic, always authentically describing the contemporary world and bringing a multitude of characters vividly to life.
    • 3/5
      Alan Furst knows how to create atmosphere and immerse the reader /listener in to it. He also sets a good pace and doesn't overdo the details. Peter Noble as the reader is brilliant! My issue after having read a few of his books is a recurring problem with the main characters. They seem to be obsessed with sex. For historical novels there's a very descriptive sex scene every 30min or so. We get it! The hero is a stud... move on.
