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 on both counts. The book was loaned to me so I am glad I didn't waste my money on it. I thought, in all fairness, I'd read The Chalk Circle to see if this book is better. This was the first book in the series and may be her best one. Sometimes an author should stop with 1 book as there is only 1 book to write. I shall wait to find out if that is the case with this author!
review 2: 4 stelle perche', prima di tutto, mi ha tenuto compagnia nelle 5 ora che mi son fatta fuori dal teatro per
... more accaparrarmi 2 biglietti per Book of Mormon nel gelo piu' totale. Gli inglesi non ti parlano, manco se ti sono appiccicati per ora in una fila con poche speranze, quindi senza questo libro non so se ce l'avrei fatta. Ma 4 stelle perche', nonostante le morti talmente schifose che avvengono in questo libro, l'autrice' ha il grande talento di saper costruire dei personaggi talmente interessanti da distogliere l'attenzione dal fatto che si tratti di un noir e trasformarlo in un romanzo a tutto tondo. less

I love Commissaire Adamsberg, and these snappy, literate mysteries by French historian Fred Vargas.

I didn't realize this book was going to be about vampires :-)= That was a pleasant surprise.

I'm reading the English translation, but Goodreads doesn't have it.
