I've been watching European detective series from various Countries, they are sub-titled. I decided to get the books for those too. Martin Beck by Maj Sjowall & Per Wahloo, Inspector Montalbano mysteries by Andrea Camilleri, Inspector Van Veeteren by Hakan Nesser, Inspector Maigret by Georges Simenon and can't find the author of Rocco Tasca series. A very handsome actor plays him. Montalbano has a bit of humor in them so i like him best. Most take place in Venice. It's rather funny hearing German spoken in the Beck series. they are playing Italians. At least it's something new to watch and read.
