This Night's Foul Work is a crime-novel by French author Fred Vargas, an entry in her Commissaire Adamsberg series. The novel is translated into English by Sian Reynolds, translator of Vargas' two previous novels in English,[1] both of which won the Duncan Lawrie International Dagger for best-translated crime novel of the year.[2]
This Night's Foul Work marks the first time Random House have published one of her novels in hardcover. The title comes from a line of impromptu verse spoken by one of the characters.[citation needed]
The book received mixed reviews. Kirkus Reviews gave a negative review of the book, writing that it was "sub-par performance", while Publishers Weekly praised it, calling it "outstanding."[1][2]
