"Wonderfully intricate and Gothic" * Independent *
"This is the seventh outing for Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, Fred Vargas's thoughtful, laid-back police chief, and the series shows no signs of flagging; An Uncertain Place is full of wit and invention, with a plot that satisfies both intellect and emotion." -- Annabella Bankhouse * Times Literary Supplement *
"With its idiosyncratic detective and taut plot, this is crime fiction writing at its most intriguing." * Marie Claire *
"As ever, Vargas's characters inhabit a world where reason and myth collide, and the result is a thrilling read." -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times *
