Pressestimmen
Vargas writes with the startling imagery and absurdist wit of a latter-day Anouilh, about fey characters who live in a wonderful bohemian world that never was but should have been. The New York Times Book Review
Spry, ironic, yet fully engaged with the horror of contemporary reality Los Angeles Times
It's a full, rich and strange plate. Seattle Times
[A] high degree of intelligence, sophistication and perversity informs [Vargas ] fiction I continue to be delighted by the workings of [her] imagination. It s a tangled web she weaves, and a hard one to escape. Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post
Few crime stories are as apt to leave a reader wondering so ardently: Who dunnit? . . . Vargas characters are like something out of a fairy tale eternal opposites, ever-renewing archetypes despite their fresh adventures each time. That s why each novel s opening feels new. The Philadelphia Inquirer
Anyone who enjoys kooky characters and intricate detail will happily follow Vargas along. Entertainment Weekly
As droll and fascinating as la ville lumière itself. Kirkus Reviews
Adamsberg, always an intuitive sleuth rather than a rational one, is the perfect hero for a series where reality is always a moving target. Booklist
