The Three Evangelists is kind of stylish.
The detective work sometimes seems secondary. A lot of information only becomes available near the end, when the pace picks up considerably. There are times when not all that much appears to happen, and it's clear that this story is as much about its characters as it is about the murder, or maybe more so.
The idea of three eccentric historians who put aside their (professional) differences because only together they can afford the rent of a run-down house, this kind of echoes my existential fear of ending up a moneyless academic. The book tells me to face my possible fate with humour. It suggests that the idea is kind of romantic, even.
Also, I might have the tiniest crush on Marc, but it's really just the tiniest, and it already subsided a bit before the novel was over.
But, yeah. Stylish. If this was a movie, I could already envision the movie poster.
