Book: The Chalk Circle Man by Fred Vargas


Rating: 2/5 stars
Chalk circles start turning up in the city of Paris, surrounding random objects; a pen, a book, etc. Soon bodies appear in the circles, and the Inspector must solve the crimes. 
It's not that the mystery set up by the author isn't intriguing; all the details fit together perfectly and leave no questions unanswered. It had a good plot, it was mildly interesting, but it seemed as if it was all just laid out for you, no thought required. I found it boring, which honestly made it hard to read right up until the end. I won't deny that it provides a good story for mystery novel buffs, but I simply do not prefer this type of novel. I love the characters' names!
