France is regularly disrupted--but not too much." --The Seattle
Times
"The small towns where Martin Walker sets his enchanting country
mysteries embody the sublime physical beauty . . . of France."
--The New York Times "Martin Walker plots with the same
finesse with which Bruno can whip up a truffle omelette." --The
Christian Science Monitor "A satisfyingly intriguing,
wish-you-were-there read." --The Guardian (London) "Sure to
appeal to readers with a palate for mysteries with social nuance
and understated charm." --The Wall Street Journal
"In an era when most Americans are ignorant of France in its true
richness, generosity of spirit, and quality of life, Mr. Walker and
his Bruno offer an enchanting introduction into this very real
world. The American reading public should flock to join them."
--The Washington Times
"Another delicious romp through a French menu garnished with
politics." --Kirkus Reviews
"Fans will appreciate Martin Walker's superbe gendarme
procedural." --The Mystery Gazette
"Though Bruno has a lot on his plate, he always leaves time for a
good meal and glass of wine. . . . The Dordogne area of France
provides a rich backdrop for any story, full of history, political
strife and delicious delicacies." --The Mystery Reader "A
roman policier . . . that the celebrated Simenon, creator of
Inspector Jules Maigret, would have been proud to claim." --The
Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) "Walker hits the sweet spot of
balancing humor and drama, and his food descriptions will leave
readers fantasizing about dining in the Perigord." --Publishers
Weekly
"A lighthearted celebration of the Perigord region of France . . .
[with a] prevailing atmosphere of dappled sunlight and good food
and wine and friends. A pleasure for Francophiles, oenophiles, and
the palate." --Booklist
