Hello Juri
In France, we don't know that Finnish
theorie.
I don't konw the original titles; so iItry to
ttranslate the French title but it's not necesserary the same
title, and it creates confusion. For Bloch I've read, a long
time ago, Psycho and "Chicago Butcher" (le boucher de
Chicago). I've liked the both.
A Finnish autor I really love is Arto Paasilinna.
It's very funny with a subtile philosophy of life. He's not
exactly an author of crime stories, but he wrote noir novel.
A very funny book which is noir, what is translated in
French, "une douce empoisonneuse". Spoiler: it's about an old
women who lives quietly in a little house in the forest. One
day, her nephew and friends of him came to visit her to get
money. The nephew and his friends are not very clever and
really lazy. She became afraid and decided to leave her house
and to go to Helsinky. the nephew wants to murder her to get
the money, but she's poor. She decided to suicide herself by
poison but with a lot of quiproquo, she doesn't die but
murders by accident her nephew and his friends. it's very
funny. And today I buy another book of Paasilinna: "hurmaava
joukkoitsemurha" translated in French as "Little suicides
with friends"

Fabienne,
sorry, I misunderstood the title you were talking about.
(About de Rais: there's a Finnish book on him and that writer
refutes the theories of him being a serial killer.)
As for Bloch, it's been years I read THE DEAD BEAT, but
remember enjoying it. I just liked PSYCHO and THE SCARF
better.
Juri
