Between the ages of 12 and 14, before I came to this country, I read
all but a half-dozen of Agatha Christie's mysteries translated into
French.  When I was done with them, I turned to another writer in the
same "Club des Masques" series.  His name is Charles Exbrayat, and
while many of his books repeat each other, he has written some
first-class mysteries that are worth seeking out.  I vaguely remember
that his "Cet Imbecile de Ludovic" as one of the more moving reading
experiences of early adolescence.

Then again, that's the opinion of a thirteen-year old...
