In this frightening and surprising novel, the eccentric, wayward genius of commissaire Adamsberg is pitted against the deep-rooted mysteries of one Alpine village's history and a very present problem : wolves.
Reviews with the most likes.
Much like the first book in the Adamsberg series, this book is full of wacky characters in unlikely circumstances. The werewolf theme and the rustic settings in eastern France add to the charm of this book.
The book is slow in the middle, as the characters (and perhaps the author) thrash around looking for the villain. The book ends with a clever twist, which seems to be standard for Vargas.
I'm looking forward to reading more of her odd detective stories.
Possibly a 3.5.
Not my favourite Vargas read so far, but still a really enjoyable, fun read.
