снова – очередной роман из серии о викторе легри и сопутствующих ему персонажах. можно сказать, я продолжаю с помощью этой серии исследовать культуру конца 19 века, ситуацию модерна и французский контекст, дополняющий имеющиеся знания о его «обратной» немецкой стороне. последовательно стремление автора/авторского я раскрыть содержание последнего десятилетия 19 века накануне наступления «весёлого апокалипсиса» на этот раз задерживает читательский взгляд посреди лета 1893 года, не только обещая ем...more
Loyal readers of the Claude Izner series of murder mysteries in 19th century Paris will enjoy the continuing adventures of rare book seller Victor Legris et al in solving yet another serial murder. However by now that plots are getting a little tired and repetitious. If you haven't read any of these books (written by two sisters who clearly love the history of Paris in the 19th century), don't start with this one. Read Murder on the Eiffel Tower and The Père-Lachaise Mystery first.
Difinetely not as good as the first four books in this series. This was very convoluted, story was scattered all over the place with way too many characters to keep track of. I struggled with this episode, found it boring and very confusing. Also, the translator was not as good as when she had the other translator accompanying her. Words and phrases were off and didn't make sense. I love the series and the characters but this last book was not very good in my opinion.
Questo è uno di quei romanzi destinati a scomparire dalla mia mente nel giro di un paio di giorni.
Si tratta di un giallo ambientato nella Parigi di fine ottocento, il che di per sè è una cosa molto intrigante. Purtroppo però la trama è confusa, e il racconto è talmente infarcito di citazioni di romanzi, poesie e canzoni dell'epoca, che è oggettivamente difficile seguire il filo del discorso.

I like the characters in the series which is why I continue reading it. The authors create a cacophony of images of turn of the century Paris which tends to get in the way of being able to follow the plot. There are so many characters and images it's sometimes hard to follow the thread of the story. The story line was so convoluted and it led to a bit of a hard to believe pieced together end. It's as if the weak plot line was just an excuse to provide descriptions of the time and people.
