Bruno Courreges is such a successful character that Martin Walker has now written six books in the series. Martin’s
love of the Perigord area of France shines through in his writing. I found myself chuckling at the way some of
the characters were portrayed, especially Bruno. The story gently unravels as the reader is
introduced to the charming town of St Denis and the local inhabitants. Then the body of an old Algerian man is discovered
shattering the peace of St Denis. The
story-line touches on the days of the Resistance and Vichy France. The book was an entertaining read. There is a fun website too:-
I'm totally hooked on Bruno! I've ordered a couple more of the series. I was in a small village in the hills above Antibes today, saw the local 'policier rurale' and immediately thought...there's Bruno! He was a bit short, but otherwise fit the bill completely. I do love a man in uniform!
