Commissaire Adamsberg

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 turns out to be connected, of course. It's all very clever and well thought-out, but as coincidence piled on coincidence, as ever more improbable people in the dramatis personae proved to be linked, I lost patience. I read to the end, but with diminishing enthusiasm. It was obvious that all the horror would unpick, that the right people would get their just deserts, and that the other right people would live happily ever after. And so it turned out.
review 2: Ma première aventure av... moreec Adamsberg. Une écriture différente, des personnages très colorés, du temps, des dialogues surprenants. J'ai vraiment adoré, et les rebondissement de l'histoire sont à des lieux de ce qu'on voit actuellement. Je cours chercher les autres aventures de l'énigmatique Adamsberg. Je l'ai écouté en livre audio, le narateur Thierry Janssen est excellent pour ajouter au plaisir. less
