Debout les morts by Fred Vargas
3.0
An interesting detective story featuring 3 historians and a retired police officer. I enjoyed the intriguing style and the plot-twists throughout the book. Vargas beautifully describes her charactes and their obsessive, yet somehow hilarious habits. The story itself is also interesting. It starts with a suspicious tree appearing in the garden of a famous greek opera singer Sophia and continues with a series of mysterious killings and linkages.
What I didn't like: The beginning of the book might feel a bit boring or repetitive, so I was proceeding very slowly. But keep going, it may not be the best detective story, but it's quite good if you have read the most famous ones, and now looking for something new.
