It’s a hot chocolate kind of a day, and how nice that goes with my next #18Sleuths trip to Switzerland! “Wachtmeister Studer” deals with the death of a traveling salesman that appears to be an open and shut case. Sergeant Studer is confronted with an obvious suspect and a confession to the murder. But nothing is what it seems. Studer’s investigation soon splinters the glassy façade of Switzerland’s tidy villages and manicured forests. That jacket text sounds promising, doesn’t it? 😎
This is the first novel in a series of five featuring the eponymous police detective, published in 1936, and it’s the only one by Friedrich Glauser that I haven’t read yet. Can’t wait to dive in tonight! By the way, it has been translated to English as “Thumbprint” 😂🇨🇭
