Have Mercy on Us All by Fred Vargas

3.0

Quite a good whodunit. Different from the murder mysteries I usually take the time to read, but this was a freebie book from a relative who was offloading a couple of boxes of books. The only thing that really irked me was the way it was solved, what the main character "notices". But everything after that was really well done.
It's a bit slow moving, so if you want a gripping read this is definitely not it, but the characters feel real, with weaknesses and personality quirks. Definitely a very European flavoured mystery.
