Un lieu incertain (Commissaire Adamsberg, #8)
- Bien, dit Clyde-Fox en se rechaussant. Sale histoire. Faites votre job, Radstock, allez voir ça. C'est un tas de vieilles chaussures posées sur le trottoir. Préparez votre âme. Il y en a une vingtaine peut-être, vous ne pouvez pas les manquer.

- Ce n'est pas mon job, Clyde-Fox.
Bien sûr que si. Elles sont alignées avec soin, les pointes dirigées vers le cimetière. Je vous parle évidemment de la vieille grille principale.
- Le vieux cimetière est surveillé la nuit. Fermé pour les hommes et pour les chaussures des hommes.
- Eh bien elles veulent entrer tout de même, et toute leur attitude est très déplaisante. Allez les regarder, faites votre job.
- Clyde-Fox, je me fous que vos vieilles chaussures veuillent entrer là -dedans.
- Vous avez tort, Radstock. Parce qu'il y a les pieds dedans.
Il y eut un silence, une onde de choc désagréable. Une petite plainte sortit de la gorge d'Estalère, Danglard serra les bras. Adamsberg arrêta sa marche et leva la tête. Less

The inimitable Fred Vargas delves into the undergrowth of society once again, but this time goes very far underground, into the tombs of men. The novel becomes a beguiling dalliance in the world of vampiry and Old World taboos. The novel will definitely raise the hackles. Read full review

In 2008 the fourth of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight books was published, completing the vampire renaissance, and ensuring that you couldn’t stroll through a bookshop without encountering a fanged predator lurking amongst the shelves. Not even the crime section was safe, for.

Not sure how I came to this, though it may have just looked peculiar on the library shelf (it doesn't, it's a regular mass production trade paperback). But because of the inflammatory nature of book-jacket and goodreads blurbs, it's probably good to get one thing certain. Read full review

Pieds coupés, pieux dans le cœur et cadavres éclatés, qui reprendra un peu d'aventures du commissaire Adamsberg.
Par chance, mon deuxième roman de Fred Vargas est aussi celui qui suit immédiatement celui que je viens de lire (vous suivez ?), "Dans les bois éternels". Alo. Read full review

Made it, with many fits and starts, to page 315 (of approx 400) before finally throwing in the towel for good. The book struck me as scattered, random, overly coincidental, and at times just plain weird - don't know if due to poor translation or not, but various character. Read full review

My first exposure to Fred Vargas and the Adamsberg series, I read An Uncertain Place in the English translation by Siân Reynolds (Vintage Books). It is clear from the other reviews that if you are expecting a classic no-nonsense police procedural rooted in gritty, empiric. Read full review

Tal vez no deberÃa haber empezado por el octavo libro de esta serie detectivesca. Supongo que si has empezado por la primera se introduzca mejor al protagonista, y poder ir viendo su evolución te hará encariñarte con él. Ésta es mi primera aproximación y asÃ, a palo seco. Read full review

I would give this book 6 stars if I could. I just couldn't put it down. This is the first Fred Vargas "Commissaire Adamsberg" novel that I have read and I can't wait to read her other books. The story was riveting and eerie. I am definitely a huge "Commissaire Adamsberg". Read full review
