I must be confusing him with someone else. I might have to give this one a miss, too many already and I don't want to start 2019 off on the wrong note!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-82867258705569559152018-12-30T10:48:15.140-08:002018-12-30T10:48:15.140-08:00Mathew, we watched the first season of that series...Mathew, we watched the first season of that series and liked it a lot. I think it had three seasons but we haven't continued with it, I don't know why. If you do watch Season 2, let me know how you liked it.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-88100396728744183692018-12-30T10:40:42.695-08:002018-12-30T10:40:42.695-08:00By coincidence I'm watching the DVD of a Briti...<br />By coincidence I'm watching the DVD of a British series called "The Tunnel" featuring a cop from France and one from Britain working together to catch a serial killer working in both countries. It starts with a body found at midpoint of the tunnel under the Channel. The upper half, a French politician, is in the French side, the legs from a British prostitute. It's wonderfully done. Our library has only the first two seasons, altho I don't know if the series ran any longer.<br />Mathew Pausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157135006791553019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-50489782986781029932018-12-29T12:41:04.066-08:002018-12-29T12:41:04.066-08:00Good question, Mathew.

In this book there is also a French fire marshal working with a German expert in that area, but that relationship does not goes so well. <br /><br />Very glad to hear you are liking the Jane Langton novel you are reading.
