Have Mercy on Us All
Author: Fred Vargas
ISBN: 1-84343-154-8
Words: ~101,000
This is a fun mystery book set in Paris - it’s well written, it has good characters (including a modern-day town crier), and it’s really quite funny.
The problem? I liked Seeking Whom He May Devour (by the same author) a whole lot more in every one of those areas, which made this feel like a little bit of a letdown.
Still, if you’re into mysteries I would recommend both of them.
