Welcome to Litsy!

This is the 4th Chief Inspector Adamsberg mystery in the series, and, WOW! These have got to be the oddest mysteries I have ever read, and I love them. It is difficult to give a synopsis, but there is a town crier, disturbing messages, talismans, the plague, toxic siblings, murder, and, yes, all in the 21st century. Adamsberg is his at his quirkiest, most intuitive self, with his difficult relationships with his fellow human beings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Inspector adamsberg is a curious creation, intellectual, other wordly, he solves crimes by reflecting on the facts and intuition. Here a town crier in a paris suburb anounces anonymous messages of which a series foretell the return of black death, when doors are marked with a backward four adamsberg investigates and soon bodies pile up. Gentle, enjoyable and curious although on bk 3 but who knows the order of translation and publication!!

#womenintranslation I looked through my tbr pile and found these three. There is so much fantastic translated literature by women out there.

Fred Vargas is one author I will always read and that I kinda always keep one title not read so I have always one more to read. #aprilbookshowers #womenintranslation
