The Ghost Riders of Ordebec (2010)
language
English
3.9 of 5 Votes: 2
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 find Fred Vargas (Frederique Audoin-Rougeau, French medieval historian and eukaryotic archeologist and three time winner of the CWA's International Dagger) a real treasure. Her character in this series, Commissaire Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, I place in the company of Salvo Montal...

review 1: This good mystery is set in Paris and rural Normandy. An investigator from Paris is brought in when a local hunter is missing. A woman had seen a group of ghostly riders and he was among the four people being carried off by them. Whenever this event happened in the past it mea...

review 1: It's always so fun to find a new author, and this is my new find, even though she has been around a while. Fred Vargas is the nom de plume for Frédérique Audoin-Rouzeau, a French historian and archeologist who writes mysteries on the side. In this Commissaire Adamsberg mystery, A...

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: Pas de cantonat�. Pas d'erreur Qualcuno definisce costei una giallista. (sapr� fare zabajoni?) Addirittura taluni una noirista. (se ne deduce quindi che conosce uso e dosi del n�vuro di siccia), per fortuna - almeno - non la qualificano thrillerara. Qualcun'altra parla di poesia...
Un luogo incerto (2009)

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...
Der verbotene Ort (2009)

English

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...
Um Lugar Incerto (2012)
language
English
3.75 of 5 Votes: 4
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 ...
