An a free history lesson on Robespierre and his friends
I wish that Fred Vargas had a thousand novels, so that I could read one whenever the urge struck, and never have to worry about pacing myself. This was one of my favorites. I would be hard pressed to say whether it is her characters that I like best, or the way that she weaves history into her tales. Either way, both aspects shine in this one.
