Críticas

Would I read another book by this author?
Yes.

Would I recommend this book?
Yes.

Who would I recommend it to?
Anyone who likes murder mysteries. It is particularly suitable to those who like cozy murder mysteries.

Did this book inspire me to do anything?
I looked up the location of Nevers on the map.

This is another enjoyable murder mystery from Fred Vargas. Her stories are great at evoking French social norms, informing the reader of the way the French policing structures differ from other countries, and bringing visions of Paris streets and landmarks to the reader's mind. Well, this reader's mind anyway.… (mais)

I did not like this one as well as the others in the series.

I like the characters and it had the usual bits of folklore/ mythology, but it begins to feel like the author strains to create conflict within the squad. I also hate (spoiler alert) books in which the sexual abuse of children is a plot device. This one is especially egregious. I appreciated the ending, anyways, had wondered what she would do to keep integrity of the commassaire in the situation she’d placed him in

An enjoyable commissare adamsberg book in which the commissaire hardly appears. Saw the ending coming, but still enjoyed

Always enjoy commissaire Adamsberg and this one was no exception. Positives, animals, in this case a pet boar and the ever present squad cat. Folklore of supernatural elements, check, an island demon. The characters are interesting but the plot is, as always, a bit beyond belief
