The Three Evangelists
"The Three Evangelists is a strange mix of the sinister, the bizarre and the surreal; her characters seldom behave like ordinary people, and her mysteries do not follow the usual rules of crime fiction. Yet these curiously assembled elements coalesce into a gripping, unsettling whole that stays in the mind far longer than most novels of the genre. It tantalises from page one" -- Marcel Berlins The Times "A Vargas novel is as good as a trip to Paris. The style has the same hyper-real quality as all her writing - the real world, but filtered through a strange prism - but it's the plotting that really hits the spot: ingenious and eccentric" -- Barry Forshaw Daily Express "A truly original talent, creating situations and characters like nothing else in contemporary crime fiction... This novel is a delight, written in a wonderfully wry tone of voice, and its plot twists will defy the most alert reader" -- Joan Taylor Sunday Times "One of France's most original crime writers... her characters are eccentric but appealing and the mystery is enjoyably hard to solve" Sunday Telegraph "Original...plenty to enjoy" Times Literary Supplement
