The Awkward Squad
The Awkward Squad | Sophie Hénaff
13 posts | 12 read | 10 to read
Suspended from her job as a promising police officer for firing "one bullet too many", Anne Capestan is expecting the worst when she is summoned to H.Q. to learn her fate. Instead, she is surprised to be told that she is to head up a new police squad, working on solving old cold cases. Though relived to still have a job, Capestan is not overjoyed by the prospect of her new role. Even less so when she meets her new team: a crowd of misfits, troublemakers and problem cases, none of whom are fit for purpose and yet none of whom can be fired. But from this inauspicious start, investigating the cold cases throws up a number a number of strange mysteries for Capestan and her team: was the old lady murdered seven years ago really just the victim of a botched robbery? Who was behind the dead sailor discovered in the Seine with three gunshot wounds? And why does there seem to be a curious link with a ferry that was shipwrecked off the Florida coast many years previously? Translated from the French by Sam Gordon

A $2 op shop find . Translated from the French. A squad of police misfits solving cold cases. Reminds me of the Bryant and May books and the TV series New Tricks. I can now see my go to escape in books is Crime. Followed by Aussie humour. I've read 15 books this month , a record for me. Might need to get back to my life soon. 😊. But maybe not just yet. On now to another Agatha .

This was a lot of fun! A group of rejected detectives in France put together to solve cold cases. I loved the lead- a strong smart woman (if a bit trigger happy) who is the leader of this group of misfits.

Une petite critique rapide pour un livre qui n'a pas encore été commenté.
Recommandé par un ami fan de Polars et de romans légers, c'est un bouquin très sympa, une brigade de bras cassés hauts en couleur pour qui on se prend un peu d'affection. Il va falloir mettre la main sur le deuxième tome.

I really enjoyed this squad of misfits and cast-offs and seeing how they came together. I hope there more of their adventures in the future.

Kind of like Jussi Adler-Olsen‘s Dept Q but this squad is full of misfit French police officers.

I really liked the setting and the plot line was cool too. I liked the different characters and how their own stories didn‘t feel set up, they kind of came naturally.

I started reading this, thinking it was just another crime-story set in France. I‘m only 50 pages in, but I really like the concept so far! Excited to read on. #justkeepreading #midbookthoughts
