Review:
"Vargas’s stunning conclusion to her Three Evangelists trilogy rewards the careful reader. . . . Vargas combines humor, oddball characters, and a classic puzzle mystery for another winner." —Publishers Weekly starred review
"Insanely imaginative procedurals. . . . One reads to be amazed by the fantastic twists in the bizarre plot about a long-dead serial killer who seems to be pursuing his quarry from the grave. One reads as well to be delighted by the literary grace notes." —New York Times on Wash this Blood Clean from My Hand
"Crime fiction doesn't get any quirkier than Fred Vargas' Commissaire Adamsberg mysteries. With her nods to fantasy, mysticism and medieval fiction, her unusual settings and titles like "Seeking Whom He May Devour," the wonderful French writer (real name: Frederique Audoin-Rouzeau) has established a subgenre all her own." —Chicago Tribune on A Climate of Fear
