Very very very good. Vargas at what she does best. Walking the line between the unreal and the reality of the madness of men.This is the newest Vargas published early this summer. It takes Adamsberg from London and shoes filled with cut foot placed in front of the Highgate Cemetery to a small villag...
This is Vargas "Québec" novel where she supposedly makes characters speaks in authentic "joual". Which might be funny for people who don't have any idea of what language people in Québec speak. One thing for sure it's not the language Vargas is using in her novel. That's the very very annoying part....
Anthology of previously published short stories these are set before "Have Mercy On Us All" and "L'homme à l'envers". All three stories are solid and give a different view of Adamsberg and his way of doing things. I especially liked the first one "Salut et liberté" where a lonely old man sits in fro...

We have Tom a wannabe artist who is more of a bum than anything else who wants to make it big in the art scene. He plans to hit for support the one...
Comissaire Adamsberg is an unusual policeman. Rather than paying heed to proofs and deducing with cold logic he follows his intuition, watching and taking note of tiny nuances and hints either in people or in things while he seemingly walks his world with his head in the clouds. And he is good at wh...
