What They're Saying
Critics Review
A THREE EVANGELISTS NOVEL
One of today’s few truly original writers of crime fiction: disturbing, unruly, droll and poetic * The Times *
Few contemporary crime thrillers can match Vargas’s soaring imaginative flights – Joan Smith * Sunday Times *
This is wonderful, quirky stuff, a world away from formulaic crime fiction – Andrew Taylor * Spectator *
Vargas is an addictive writer whose surreal touches create a curiously solid world. Her occasional whimsy somehow turns into comment both trenchant and funny – Jane Jakeman * Independent *
A cool, clever, original and deeply humane crime writer * Times Literary Supplement *
Move over Scandi crime, the new foreign thriller favourites are the French. And no one is better than Fred Vargas * Sunday Times *
The characterisation is imaginative and the plot distinctly quirky… Humour is cast over even the darkest of themes and the oddball central characters entertain as much as the plot intrigues * French Entree *
Dog Will Have His Day firmly demonstrates why Vargas is so highly thought of * Good Book Guide *
