review 1: Този роман ми беше първа среща с авторката, но определено няма да е последна. Определението "криминален роман" трудно може да се приложи за тази необичайна книга - детективската линия в сюжета е последното, което има значение, когато става дума за главен герой като комисар Адамсб...

review 1: Los libros de Adamsberg van de bien a mejor con cada entrega. La autora sigue sin hacer concesiones y sus personajes, situaciones, escenarios y casos a resolver siguen pecando contra toda lógica pero derrochando todo el encanto y el atractivo que los caracteriza y los hace único...

review 1: I've always had a soft spot for Commissaire Adamsberg, and for Fred Vargas. Not this time. The book begins in London with a pile of shoes with severed feet inside, returns to France and a singularly gruesome murder, and ends up in Serbia with a clutch of vampires. Everything t...

review 1: An Uncertain Place is quirky in several ways, so get ready to let go and let the words wash over you. The characters are all over-the-top oddballs, including the main character of Adamsberg. The plots and the reasoning of these "police procedurals" are non-linear and have very li...

review 1: Pertenece a la serie del comisario Adamsberg. Este es un tipo en la cincuentena (calculo) que en un viaje profesional a Londres se encuentra con 17 zapatos con los pies dentro a las puertas de un cementerio. A la vuelta a París se produce un salvaje asesinato: un anciano rico aca...

review 1: The story begins with Commissaire Adamsberg going to a conference in London even though he has never been able to remember a word of English. A ghoulish scene that he witnesses at Highgate cemetery is the prelude to an extraordinarily violent murder scene on his return to Paris....

review 1: After reading this book, I was disappointed. Perhaps it was because I just read a Patrick White novel that was beautifully written. This book could only be called a potboiler. It had a very fragile storyline and the author tried desperately to be quirky and clever but fell short ...
