On the outskirts of Paris, two men have been found with their throats cut, and despite the common assumption that the crime is a drug-related incident, Commissaire Adamsberg becomes convinced that the deaths are the work of a serial killer with split personalities and enlists the assistance of pathologist Ariane Lagarde to help him unravel the truth.… (mais)
What an excellent mystery! I'd read Vargas' first book in this series and didn't care for it much at all, but my mom, who introduced me to this writer, assured me that the first one was not representative of the later ones--she was definitely right. ( )
El fantasma de una monja del siglo XVIII que degollaba a sus víctimas, cadáveres de vírgenes profanados, pociones mágicas que aseguran la vida eterna, un rival del pasado más lejano que habla en verso... Con todo esto se encontrará el comisario Adamsberg en esta inquietante y negrísima novela de Fred Vargas. La resolución de este complicado puzzle podría volver loco a cualquiera, pero no a Adamsberg. El comisario conseguirá descubrir la verdad, aunque ello le cueste no la razón sino el corazón.
A missing persons police team tracking a cat's movements (by helicopter, even!) was a bit much even for Adamsberg, but otherwise I was willing to suspend my disbelief, once again, for this entertaining series. Recommended for all libraries. ( )
