From the Back Cover
Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg is not like other policemen. His methods appear unorthodox in the extreme: he doesn't search for clues; he ignores obvious suspects and arrests people with cast-iron alibis; he appears permanently distracted. In spite of all this his colleagues are forced to admit that he is a born cop.

When strange blue chalk circles start appearing overnight on the pavements of Paris, only Adamsberg takes them - and the increasingly bizarre objects found within them - seriously. And when the body of a woman with her throat savagely cut is found in one, only Adamsberg realises that other murders will soon follow.

I wanted to enjoy this more than I did. Probably because Adamsberg is a little more unusual than most in his methods of solving crime. I did find myself thinking he could put almost any spin he liked on the story and make it work. I enjoyed some of the later books. Not sure whether I will seek out others just yet.
