Wash This Blood Clean from My Hand by Fred Vargas
2.0
Adamsberg and colleagues leave their home turf for Canadian winter trails, where old grievances are unearthed and new challenges put before our commissaire. Will he win in the race against his old enemy, faced with ruin himself?
The good: The style and characters continue to amuse me - the dreamlike setting, the blunt interactions.
The bad: It's too long and the plot verges on fantastical. It's the first book focused mainly on Adamsberg's POV and I didn't care much for that. Why people like that man continues to baffle me - I can understand his subordinates, but not all of the others.
The bad: This is the weakest book so far - I didn't buy the suddean appearance of childhood obsession, never mentioned or hinted at in previous books.
