Me acabo de dar cuenta de que he leído muchos libros de la saga del comisario Adamsberg y nunca los he valorado. As I said earlier, this is a novel on the lighter side of crime, and so should appeal to readers who tend to stay away from more hardcore crime fiction. Adamsberg, despre care voi scrie și mâine mai în detaliu, căci prefer ca astăzi să mă aplec mai mult asupra poveștii Vârcolacului, este un anchetator complet diferit de cei pe care i-ați cunoscut până acum. And he also still keeps watch on all his observation posts, numbering the public benches and even trees in the Paris parks. Stă și cuget�

Les prises de parole d'Adamsberg, voire ses actes, sont écrits avec une certaine complaisance (la scène de la nonne, bon Dieu, mais quel grand humaniste ce commissaire. Even though he is retired he still keeps newspaper cuttings and files on any criminal activity of any kind, which is where Marc helps him. In each case, arrests were made, suspects confessed their crimes and were sentenced to life in prison. Her current love interest is a Canadian scientist who studies wolves in the wild, currently in the Mercantour National Park in France, near the village.

Porque en todas sus novelas el caso va más allá del caso: la localización; los personajes; los culpables y los motivos; las relaciones personales; Adamsberg, sus procesos mentales y su personalidad; su equipo, tan variopinto como agradable y completo. It’s the sixth in Fred Vargas’ Commissaire Adamsberg series in which he investigates a macabre murder. Dès lors il n'est pas impossible que mon appétit ait été impossible à satisfaire, en dépit de la fantaisie et du pittoresque dont témoignent, commençons par le dire, chacune des 509 pages de ce généreux volume. Tout semble accusé le Vicomte du lieu, Joachim, sosie de son ascendant célèbre, François-René de Chateaubriant du château de Combourg.

In 2006 her next novel, The Three Evangelists, won the inaugural Duncan Lawrie International Dagger. The classics are those books about which you usually hear people saying: ‘I’m rereading…’, never ‘I’m reading…. I see from the synopsis of The Accordionist that Louis is also in the third book in the series with the three ‘Evangelists’ – I’m hoping my reserved copy will be available from the library soon. His fiction spans an enormous range of material, much of it dealing with the uncanny, and as a pioneer in the field his work formed the foundation for the new generation of Japanese authors emerging in post-Restoration literature. He has won the most important awards of the genre, including the prestigious International Dagger, which has been worn three times in a row.

He has also written the detective series lovers known as The three evangelists, where he shows his knowledge as a specialist of the Middle Ages that he is. I’ve also read them all in French and recently discovered an early success “Tales of Love and Death” which has a prototype Adamsberg character – interesting to see the development.

Maybe part of the problem I was having was that some of these characters have been featured in Vargas’ earlier books, including Camille and a Commissaire Adamsberg, who’s barely in the first two-thirds of this novel but is supposedly the series’ main character. She shares her ideas for a literature that is more demanding, more lively and more tenacious, more necessary for authors and readers alike. Adamsberg est toujours entouré de ses fidèles lieutenants : Rétancourt avec son physique improbable et son prénom si tendre, Veyrenc au buste romain, le seul a appelé le commissaire par son prénom, petit souvenir de leur enfance partagée, Mercadet, aux doigts si agiles pour craquer les verrous informatiques mais aussi au sommeil impérieux, etc.Over the course of a few days he receives a number of disturbing and portentous messages of malicious intent, all of them referring to the Black Death. The story involves a plumber/musician and two local sheep farmers randomly tracking down the "werewolf" responsible for butchering the sheep and the murders - in a dilapidated, ancient, and now modified, sheep-transport truck.
