Sur la dalle: Thriller (Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, 12)

Product Information

I’ve been looking forward to reading The Accordionist since I finished Dog Will Have His Day, the second book in Fred Vargas’ Three Evangelists series. I actually also finished 8 books I had started before June 1st, and some big ones, so next year, I should count these pages as well! Además del comisario, de sus extravagantes y caóticos razonamientos, y de todo el personal de la policía, Johan, el posadero del pueblo donde ocurre la trama, me ha caído muy simpático.

A flic who'd pass on all the info about giving us any grief, and who'd let us carry on tracking the vampire down. Fred Vargas’s real name is Frédérique Audoin-Rouzeau and she is a historian and archaeologist, a world expert on the Black Death of the Middle Ages. I found this book the most baffling of the trilogy and really had no idea of how they managed to unravel all the strands of this murder mystery which has its roots in the past. S. debut presents a riveting blend of biothriller and historical cryptology: it takes a close look at the threat of bubonic plague to modern-day Paris.And to drive the old (and very stinky) cattle truck, Soliman and Watchee recruit Camille, the elusive, on-again/off-again love of Commissaire Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg's life, who is now living in the village, composing music for a soap opera and working as a plumber.

La localización es estupenda otra vez: Louviec y Combourg, cuna de Chateaubriand, con sus fantasmas, sus miedos, su comunidad peculiar. And when a charred corpse is found, Adamsberg knows he’s dealing with a particularly serious and chilling case. I have read many books by Soseki, The Gate for instance, but not this one, which might be his most famous! Dans le magnifique "Quand sort la recluse", le légendaire rejoignait le quotidien, et les failles de notre propre époque.Soliman, the victim's adopted son; Le Veilleur, a lonely sheperd and Camille, a lovely girl from the city, decide to pursue Massart and their hunt leads them into the Alps, but their incompetence is undisguisable and they decide to summon Commissaire Adamsberg — well known for his peculiar investigation methods — to help. Besides the Adamsberg novels, Vargas has written several books featuring “the three evangelists”—the moniker is due to their first names.
