Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. When blue chalk circles begin to appear on the pavement in neighborhoods around Paris, Commissaire Adamsberg is alone in thinking that they are far from amusing. As he studies each new circle and the increasingly bizarre objects they contain – empty beer cans, four trombones, a pigeon’s foot, a doll’s head – he senses the cruelty that lies within whoever is responsible. And when a circle is discovered with decidedly less banal contents – a woman with her throat slashed – Adamsberg knows that this is just the beginning.

Brief Summary The Chalk Circle Man by Fred Vargas

This is the first book in a series starring Parisian police commissioner Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, though not the first to be translated into English. Adamsberg, a classic user of intuition rather than logic and prescribed procedure, has attracted equal amounts of admiration for his success in solving cases and puzzlement (at best) over his unorthodox approach. He is intrigued—and, unlike his fellow officers and the newspapers, worried—by reports of chalk circles being drawn around random pieces of street trash in different parts of the city during the night by an unknown individual. His worry is borne out when a new circle is drawn around the corpse of a woman whose throat has been slashed. The search of Adamsberg and his somewhat more rational second-in-command, Adrien Danglard, for the mysterious “chalk circle man”—who may or may not be the murderer—soon involve them with three other unusual people: Mathilde Forestier, an oceanographer who follows people when she isn’t following fish; Charles Reyer, a blind man with a sharp tongue; and Clémence Valmont, an elderly woman who obsessively answers lonely-hearts ads. All live in the same building, which Forestier owns.
