hat is a brilliant if somewhat quirky thriller. It's Adamsberg at the top of his game. Vargas writes an intricate tapestry of characters, a very scary bogey man, the threat of a black plague epidemic is a scary, scary thing. She uses history, psychology and an unorthodox way of putting things together that pulls the reader inside the story and you feel you have to read the next page and the next to find out the next clue, the next move of the killer and the next countermove of Adamsberg. It's a wonderful ride and you learn things too. Great bonus.
