From his home in the mountains of the Ardèche, he wrote fiction in a noir palette with a cast of characters drawn from ordinary provincial life. Though his writing is often very dark in tone, it sparkles with quirkily beautiful imagery and dry wit. Garnier's work has been likened to the great thriller writer, Georges Simenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmily Boyce\u003c\/strong\u003e is a translator and editor.
