Soon suspicion falls on Massart, one of the villagers, because of his beardlessness (according to popular legend, werewolves have no hair on their bodies because they are inside the body). Soliman, the victim's adopted son; Le Veilleur, a lonely sheperd and Camille, a lovely girl from the city, decide to pursue Massart and their hunt leads them into the Alps, but their incompetence is undisguisable and they decide to summon Commissaire Adamsberg — well known for his peculiar investigation methods — to help. Thanks to his extraordinary intuition, Adamsberg unearths an astonishing truth, one that the villagers are going to find hard to believe.Newest Review: ... pursue him.

The characters
The three main characters, Soliman, Camille and Watchee, are an odd bunch. Soliman, the only black man in the vicinity, was abandoned in the church porch by his mother. Adopted by Suzanne, the only villager who could bear to pick him up, he grew up with French ways, yet was encouraged by Suzanne to find out as much as he could about his African heritage.

Cheap second hand on Amazon. 
Awful story with too many sub-plots. Very emotional and original storyline. Ghostly ending. Slow to start and not much incentive to read on. Well-researched and well-written. Moving, gripping, excellent reading Need a tissue for the last chapter I think this would be a good book for someone looking to learn a little about Anne Boleyn No emotion within the diary entries, attempts to portray Anne Boleyn too kindly easy to read ending was a bit disappointing.Year 6 Maths: Classbook A Pt. 1 & 2 - Richard Parsons
Useful reference books Expensive to buy for the whole class

Great descriptions, Thrilling Plot, intersting method of delivery (a story within a story) Follows only one character so there is a narrow view of events in the book.

A good story with many funny moments The end came about a bit abruptly, couple of editing errors
