I was excited to read this book because I am a fan of foreign detective fiction. Unfortunately the characters of Fred Vargas were so eclectic that it made the story difficult to read and I found myself losing interest about two thirds of the way through. I did not find Adamsberg to be as engaging a character as some other foreign detectives that I have read. I will probably read more of her work to see how it compares to this story, but overall The Chalk-Circle Man was less than satisfying for me.
