Fred Vargas' latest in the Commissaire Adamsberg series, 'This Night's
Foul Work', was published this week in the UK. To celebrate, this week
the new reviews on Euro Crime are all of the Adamsberg series, including
the new one. In series order:
No. 2 - 'Seeking Whom He May Devour', where Adamsberg joins the book
quite late on to track down a werewolf in the mountains near the Italian
border. Reviewed by Maxine Clarke.
No. 3 - 'Have Mercy on Us All', where a plague seems to be hitting
Paris. Reviewed by Fiona Walker.
No. 5 - the International Dagger winning 'Wash This Blood Clean From My
Hand', which sees Adamsberg chasing a serial killing 'dead man' who
follows him to Quebec. Reviewed by Maxine Clarke and Geoff Jones.
and finally, the most recent book, no. 6, 'This Night's Foul Work',
which takes place both in Paris and in Normandy. Reviewed by me, Norman
Price and Fiona Walker.

No. 1 in the series has now been translated by Vargas' most recent
translator, Sian Reynolds, so maybe that will be the 2009 release
