Manfred Baumann lives in the dull town of Saint Louis, France, near Strasbourg. If anything could be more dull than the town, it's Manfred's life, characterized by rigid routine and, per the cover illustration, lots of alcohol. When a waitress from the cafe where he takes most of his meals - andouillette on Monday, choucroute on Tuesday, etc., - goes missing and an investigation is launched, Raymond begins to unravel. At once a mystery and the subtle study of a bizarre personality, I enjoyed this very much.
