In Extraordinary People, Enzo has made a bet that he can solve a long cold case, the disappearance of a prominent social and cultural figure some 10 years before. Some readers will find character attitudes and behaviour a little eyebrow-raising: this is definitely a book written from a male perspective! She is the most recent lover of his fellow investigator Raffin, which provides added tension to an already frayed relationship.

He flees along the north ambulatory; past the chapel of St Paul, the chapel of St Joseph and the Souls in Purgatory.Fortunately, I worked out at a later date that I’d fallen for a trap… yet that does not remove the fact that I fell for it. it wouldn’t do any harm at all if you applied your very particular talents to unraveling a few more of those unsolved cases….

I enjoy reading Peter May's work and decided to start this series which are the only books I haven't read by him. Having set a new plan with my GR friend Jaline, who also enjoys reading books written by Peter May, we have begun his Enzo series starting with Extraordinary People. While the book wasn't a classic it did manage to set the scene for the series and introduce the major characters. Entry Island was an interesting read, and whilst not up to the standard of the Lewis Trilogy it was still an enjoyable four stars.Unfortunately it appears as though I’m working on a ‘read a Peter May book or series every twelve months’ schedule, but it is better late than never.

The truth is, Macleod could use the money from the bet, and he has another reason to want to come to Paris to work for a while.

He started out his writing career in journalism and won his first award, the Fraser Award, in 1973 when he was only 21 years old. This was really a page turner for me, I loved Enzo and the complicated relationships he had with his daughter(s) and everyone else in his life. The book would also be completely impossible in a world in which criminals were not compelled to leave full confessions in the substance of their crimes. There is a lot by way of coincidence, with things being stretched too far at times, yet you are pulled in.

I kept having the odd feeling with this book that it was not the first in a series and that I had missed out on some important character development in a previous book.

I'd recommend Extraordinary People to any reader who enjoys fast-paced, intriguing mysteries and quest-based adventures - anyone who enjoyed Dan Brown's 2003 phenomenon The Da Vinci Code would be likely to love this, too! We are given to understand that he has recently accepted a bet with the local Préfet’s that he could be able to solve a ten year old cold-case. I found it to be an enjoyable read as long as you do not dig too deeply into it and I will be reading book 2.The wager is that Enzo can find out what happened to Jacques Gaillard by applying new science to an old case. The mystery and clues were very well done and indeed as remarked near the end without the internet would have been difficult if not impossible to solve. Enzo Macleod has for years been teaching biology at the university in Toulouse instead of pursuing his brilliant career as a forensic pathologist in Scotland. I enjoyed the treasure hunt that ensued, and how Enzo and the people he recruited worked with the clues in the trunks to determine where the next one would be.
