4 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
Invits au Qubec pour une formation de deux semaines cible sur le traitement des empreintes gntiques , Adamsberg est victime d'un malaise qui le surprend, inexplicablement. La lecture d'un article de presse, faisant part de l'assassinat d'une jeune fille de trois coups de couteau, vient de faire ressurgir en lui d'atroces souvenirs : ceux de son frre inculp quelque trente ans auparavant pour le meurtre de sa fiance qu'il n'a jamais russi innocenter, malgr son identification certaine de l'assassin. Le tueur au Trident est-il de retour?

It's been a while since I was in the parisian world of commisaire Adamsberg, the enigmatic parisian detective who relies on his intuition. In this one, a crime from his childhood obsesses him with murder by stabbing with a trident. The plot takes him to Ottawa, where crimes follow him. Enjoyable series 3* and will read next at some point.

Another Commissaire Adamsberg mystery, and it is another odd, odd book, in a series of odd, odd books. I love this series and I love Adamsberg. This one ranges from France to Canada and Detroit and includes a scary dead(?) judge, a trident, drunken blackouts, a crazy woman, Mah Jong, questioned loyalties. I was stumped to the very end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CarolynM I've read a couple of these (not this one, though) and I agree - they are very odd but also very good. 5y

This mystery was over-complicated in my opinion. I have read the author before and enjoyed them - they are always very quirky thanks to the lead investigator‘s style of investigating. He drove me a little crazy this time.

Two somewhat different choices for the #junebookbugs prompt of "planet in the title".
