One down, one two go, three days left!

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.

Together they fight crime!

I have a small to-read list that should keep me entertained until Saturday. It is important to stay entertained. Boredom leads to the internet, and the internet contains spoilers.

Fred Vargas: The Three Evangelists
(original title: "Debout les morts"; I read it in English because I completely thought Fred Vargas was an English man. She's actually a French woman. I suck!)
It's about a trio of historians trying to catch a murderer.

Leonie Swann: Three Bags Full
(original title: "Glennkill"; once more, I assumed the author was British or American. I mean... Swann? I am very proud that I discovered that she is in fact German. That's how I managed to buy the German version and not again get stuck with a translation I wouldn't need!)
It's about a herde of sheep trying to catch a murderer.

When was the last time I read a book about detectives catching murderers?
