Fred Vargas - The Chalk Circle Man (2010)		Review
It's crime fiction, Jim - but not as we know it: Fred Vargas is a marmite author whose quirky approach may either delight or infuriate.

For quite a while I was put off myself not by the genre but by the author's name, not realising that Fred Vargas is female , a very learned academic in real life, and a bit bonkers sometimes - in the best possible way.

This is the first novel in the Inspector Adamsberg series, introducing her anti-detective, his colleagues and other recurring characters. Despite this it was not the first of the series to be translated into and published in English - here by Siân Reynolds.
