Here's the thing with amazing authors : they get you used to amazing books. Unfortunately, this one isn't that, although it is always nice to read an Adamsberg novel. It's just that it's a bit long and boring at times, the charm of the previous novels isn't really there.

A fun and gripping book, full of mystery.

Content warning Spoilers ahead!
Good beginning and plenty of interesting ideas throughout the book, but the pacing falls apart, and the characters lack of depth and real evolution.
(Also, by the middle of the book, it become apparent that one of the main POV character isn't very smart, and by the end, she's obviously dumb as rocks. And then, like that, the book ends.)
