Chef de Police Bruno Courreges continues as the Perigord's* gourmand and exemplary community policeman in Walker's latest novel set in the south of France. The author is an accomplished historian now residing in the region and writing police procedurals that double as cook books. He mixes history, both ancient and modern in weaving his superb tales, that also shed a tremendous amount of light on modern day France. This series is an absolute delight.
*This blog's editor, Marcella, is bemused by the fact that region is famous for its truffles and I am a truffle and mushroomphobe.
