Le Concierge

by Herbert Lieberman, Jean Esch (Translator)

Sis au cœur de New-York, le Parker Regency Hôtel accueille depuis des années les clients les plus riches et huppés de la planète - ceux auxquels on ne refuse aucun passe-droit. Roger Paladine, grand patron du service de la conciergerie le sait, et y veille. Il ne faudrait surtout pas que, froissé, l'habitué s'imagine aller ailleurs. Mais que faire lorsque, après avoir fermé les yeux, on se retrouve embringué dans quelque chose qui ressemble à un meurtre ? Tel est le problème auquel Roger Paladine, le brillant, le subtil "Concierge" du Parker Regency, est confronté lorsque le comte Gobbo est retrouvé pendu dans les caves de l'hôtel.

it's a mystery novel that I didn't figure out who was the killer, but I did not enjoy the story. I not sure why but I didn't connect with the characters. The wildcard was so normal and not really a wildcard in my opinion.
