	Dans les bois éternels, Fred Vargas, Livres sur Fnac.com
		Roman après roman, Fred Vargas s’éloigne un peu plus encore des bases du polar traditionnel pour aller vers un récit en clair obscur où des personnages, de plus en plus décalés, évoluent dans un univers onirique assez inédit.
		Mme (c'est une femme et pas un homme comme j'ai pu le lire...) Vargas utilise une nouvelle méthode pour la révélation finale: on était habitué à être dans les pensées d'Adamsberg et d'avoir le nom du tueur un peu avant; ce n'est pas le cas avec ce livre.

		In April an amnesty of all political prisoners was declared, and Vargas signed a decree to enable presidential elections and elections for Congress to be held in December.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Fred Vargas on how life came to imitate her crime fiction
		Fred Vargas is a highly successful French crime writer, but since she declared her support for an Italian author faced with extradition, her calls are monitored and she is followed by the intelligence services.
		But the first reason for meeting Vargas is that two of her 12 poetic, offbeat and gently addictive novels - she calls them rompols, after the French term romans policiers - received their first British outing last month, to general acclaim.
		As a "huge fan" of classic British crime fiction, she is, she says, especially happy that the UK now counts among the 22 countries in which her books have appeared.

	The Plague Artist
		That's both the conceit and the launching pad of Fred Vargas's Have Mercy on Us All, which manages to be both an ingenious thriller and a meditation on code, communication and miscommunication.
		This confluence of medievalism and modernism (Vargas is a Parisian archaeologist specializing in the Middle Ages) informs every page of Have Mercy on Us All in the same way that Caleb Carr examined modern America through the prism of early 1900s Manhattan in The Alienist.
		Vargas sneaks in her parallelisms in delightful and clever ways, starting with the very contemporary premise of this thriller: Someone is trying to spread the Black Plague in modern Paris and has chosen the medieval method of using a town crier to spread the news.

		Fernando (called Fred by most and Nano by me) chose never to return to his country (he faked a love for his relatives, who like good solid Catholics despised his sexual orientation), preferred to remain here as a legal alien, and refused to become a US citizen.
		Fred, however, encouraged him over the years and found that most of the pressings Gordon purchased were given away by him for free.
		Vargas and Smith were intrigued by Sun Ra's music, and they began to record his small groups, and when the studio burned in 1968 and they had to move to West 42nd Street, their new studios were large enough to record Sun Ra's whole band (sometimes with as many as thirty musicians).

	Barnes & Noble.com - Have Mercy on Us All - Fred Vargas - Paperback
		International best-selling mystery writer Vargas (her first name is short for Fr d rique) makes her U.S. debut with a contemporary crime story that revives the Black Death.
		Vargas has an original, slightly skewed way of seeing the world; she populates her novel with a host of quirky yet appealing characters, from the oddball town crier to the off-kilter chief inspector.
		Fred Vargas writes a strong thriller that translates quite nicely into a one-sitting adrenalin read.

	www.reviewingtheevidence.com \| HAVE MERCY ON US ALL, by Fred Vargas
		Fred Vargas is an historian and archaeologist - certainly not mutually exclusive professions.
		She (the 'Fred' stands for 'Frederique) has of late concentrated more on her fiction writing than archaeological research and HAVE MERCY ON US ALL is a tribute to her excellence in both categories.
		There are occasional lapses (for example 'Are you coming with?') but on the whole, the reader is able to immerse herself in the prose and forget that it is not a direct communication from the author.

		Envisager de raconter un roman de Fred Vargas frise le ridicule, aussi se contentera-t-on de dire qu’ici, comme dans Sous les vents de Neptune, Adamsberg est confronté à des résurgences de son passé qui le déstabilisent fortement.
		Il s'agit du troisième ouvrage de Vargas que je lis et j'ai été conquise.L'intrigue est très bien menée,ne nous laissant jamais présager un tel dénouement, l'auteur a l'art de nous mener sur de fausses pistes.
		Madame Vargas est historienne et cela se sent dans chacun de ses livres : une grande rigueur dans l'écriture,une recherche approfondie, un souci du détail et de la cohérence, un grand respect pour ses lecteurs.

		Vargas seems to have a fascination with fear and hysteria; old mythologies, old atavistic phobias that worm their way into an old, vulnerable part of the human brain and fascinate at the same time as terrifying, are placed in modern society, and she observes what happens.
		Fred Vargas's tale is enjoyable and involving but for me the translation seems quirky.
		The plot is bizarre and startling, and the central characters strange and grudgingly sympathetic.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| Steeped in primeval terrors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Fred Vargas's thrillers are steeped in primeval terrors.
		Have Mercy On Us All (2003), the first of the author's novels to be published in English, featured an outbreak of bubonic plague in Paris.
		Vargas makes a living as a historian and archaeologist, and it is apt that in her novels the solutions to the mysteries of life lie in the histories of ordinary people.

	They are dying in Paris, Rio, Ireland and Provence by Christine Cole Catley \| New Zealand Listener
		The author, Fred Vargas, is a woman, Paris-born and a professional historian and archaeologist.
		Unlike those women crime writers who use their professional expertise to concentrate on pathology or the speciality, say, of bones past and present, Vargas convinces with a sweep of history that's both broad and deep, underpinned by specific literary and archival detail.
		As the publishers point out, Vargas wrote it the previous year, before anyone had dreamt that a deadly disease might be mailed to its victims through the US post.

	Tangled Web UK Review - Have Mercy on Us All by Fred Vargas January 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Do not make the same mistake that I did.
		'Fred' Vargas is not the hard-boiled male that enthusiasm in some quarters had indicated, but an attractive young woman with a background in archaeology.
		I suspect that you will be looking out for the next Adamsberg novel with something approaching huge anticipation.

		And when a charred corpse is found, Adamsberg knows he's dealing with a particularly serious and chilling case.
		Be Gone and Don't Come Back is Fred Vargas's masterpiece so far.
		She is exceptional at building mood and tension, and, as Henning Mankell portrays the social realities of contemporary Sweden in his Inspector Wallander mysteries, so Vargas does the same for Paris and France.

		The novel is set in a nondescript area of modern Paris, an area in which, from moment to moment, you could be in one of a number of historical eras.
		To reinforce this sense of the past outweighing the present, Vargas has invented a key character who has resurrected the ancient metier of town crier.
		And not least among the pleasures of reading Vargas is the appetising thought that there are several more in the pipeline.

		The resolution of the mystery is not obvious until the final pages of the work, a tribute to Vargas' excellent plotting.
