Le quartier des oubliés

I think I'm about to just read everything this author has ever written it was my second time reading her work (in less than a week) and once again I was very impressed by just how bleak and tense she managed to make this story while also including an overwhelming amount of repulsive stuff.

The characters were great (although the main cop one was as cliche as it gets). I was particularly fond of Luc a very fat man recently abandoned by a girlfriend he's not sure he ever truly loved and afflicted with a questionable will to live but also somehow a quite decent guy which made him super easy to root for.

I'm almost sad that there isn't an English version of this book because there's quite a few people I would recommend it to if there was one.
