Commissaire Adamsberg must be the most engaging French detective
since Maigret
*Scotland on Sunday*
Poetic, offbeat and gently addictive. Her prose has an unusual
deftness, a wry humour. A unique voice

An intriguing, idiosyncratic voice
*Time Out*
An absolute masterwork. One of the best books of the year
*Toronto Globe & Mail*
A work of real class - its characters sharp, multi-faceted and
original, and its style crisply intelligent
