‘People will die,’ says the panic-stricken woman outside police headquarters. She has been standing in blazing sunshine for more than an hour, and refuses to speak to anyone besides Commissaire Adamsberg. Her daughter has seen a vision: ghostly horsemen who target the most nefarious characters in Normandy. Since the middle ages there have been stories of murderers, rapists, those with serious crimes on their conscience, meeting a grizzly end following a visitation by the riders.

Soon after the young woman’s vision a notoriously cruel man disappears, and the local police dismiss the matter as superstition. Although the case is far outside his jurisdiction, Adamsberg agrees to investigate the strange happenings in a village terrorised by wild rumours and ancient feuds.

Eleştirmen yorumları

This latest outing for the offbeat Commissaire Adamsberg is [Vargas'] best
After decades in which crime fiction in French was dominated by the Belgian author Georges Simenon, it has an indisputable new star in Fred Vargas (Joan Smith)
Vargas depicts brilliantly a rural community riven with superstition, where class distinctions have existed for centuries

Adamsburg and his team look into the ghost story of a small Normandy village with its small community and secrets. An interesting tale with a slightly claustrophobic atmosphere of families whose secrets and feuds stretch back generations.

Excellent narrator and despite the slightly incomprehensible and eccentric Adamsburg it is a well-told credible story.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Ghost Riders of Ordebec to be better than the print version?

I haven't read it, but David Rintoul is a brilliant narrator, so I think he brings something extra to the novel. He really brings Adamsberg alive for me. Narrates his character just how I imagine him to be

Who was your favorite character and why?

Adamsberg

What does David Rintoul bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

He may not do accents, nut I don't think he needs them. He reads very well, and just the tone, pitch and pace of the characters brings them alive. I can really picture the characters and scenes in my head as he reads

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Adamsburg is one of the greats!

Enjoyable story, although I struggled to keep some of the character names straight in my head as there was a lot to remember. Not all characters were distinct/memorable. I'm not entirely convinced by the unveiling of the killer at the end but I'd happily read/listen to more by this author.

Easy listening

my first Fred Vargas, and I wasn't disappointed. Kind of like a French inspector Montalbano. All the detectives characters are conjured up well. The plot and humour both excellent. David Rintoul is one of the finest narrators

The furious army will get you!
