This Poison Will Remain by Fred VargasMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
High praise for this superb French police procedural/mystery! A mark of how excellent it is, is that I read it totally engrossed despite the fact that I am a lifelong arachnophobe and will scream at even a photo of a spider. Yet I immediately became totally involved in the story despite that there were numerous recountings of incidents that would normally be triggers for me. I found this novel so intriguing that I am determined to catch up with the series. What an involved character is Commissionaire Adamsberg of Paris' 13th Arrondissement! Yet, the secondary characters--his squad, numerous crime victims past and present, villains, others on the near periphery of events--are equally complex and intriguing.
