I'm really good at being sorry
In that case, you really must read some Daniel Pennac, Cat. "Au bonheur des ogres" (translated as "The Scapegoat") is the one to start with. They are detective stories set in the Belleville area of Paris (where Zelda lives) and feature a professional scapegoat. I have rarely laughed so much and immediately read the whole series.
