A Judgement In Stone: a chilling and captivatingly unsettling thriller from the award-winning Queen of Crime, Ruth Rendell by Ruth Rendell

5.0

Another wonderful mystery from Fred Vargas, this time with Matthias, Marc, and Lucien: three down-on-their-luck historians, the "Three Evangelists"--and one cunning ex-flic, who struggle to find a missing neighbor and to misdirect the police at the same time. In addition to wonderful portraits and a great whodunit, Vargas' fascination with the psychology of problem solving (feeling, intuiting, obsessing, sleepwalking to the truth) pushes at the boundaries of the genre and makes for a great read.

You didn't wake up a sleepwalker, because apparently it will make them fall over. Whether that was true or false he didn't know, but it was certainly true of Marc. You shouldn't wake Marc up when he was launched, trance-like, into his research. Or he too would fall over. The Three Evangelists
