Summary
Life in south-west rural France is not the sleepy idyll you might suppose. Local duck and goose farms are being attacked by animal rights protestors attempting to halt the production of foie gras. A senior policeman has been shot by terrorists believed to be the Basque Separatists of ETA.
And if that weren’t enough, a group of students have just unearthed a ‘modern’ skeleton during a dig at one of the ancient sites of this famous region and home to prehistoric man - a dig that has brought an influx of foreigners to the Dordogne. It is up to Chief of Police Bruno Courrèges to get to the bottom of these seemingly unrelated events.

Enjoyable read
Another good story in the Inspector Bruno series set in the Dordogne region of France with lots of Gallic charm and atmosphere. Very ably read by Bill Wallis

Typically French
Lovely story so typical of french life. The treatment of the new magistrate by the farmers is very funny. The description of the food & recipes is mouthwatering. A great read.

Very enjoyable version of the book.
Another good performance of the Bruno stories, in this one I found the final story elements even better than the book due to the readers performance. Brilliant.

England rules and man's best friends keep dying
A Scot from Edinburgh referred to as an English woman throughout, a Welshman ditto, and three dead dog killed in three books. This series has many charms, not least the narrator (so far, about to be lost) but not winning a fan here. Surely the author can think of some other way to create tension than by killing off the dog characters in the books so brutally, time after time.

What a great experience!
A great story, and so beautifully told that I couldn’t stop listening. So full of the sounds, smells and atmosphere of the French village and such a compelling adventure.
Superb!
Thanks to the author and narrator!

Enjoyable - but the least I have enjoyed so far
Being ill in bed I have been listening to these stories more or less back to back. They have all been good dectective stories in a fairly classical manner with a bit of a thriller thrown in by the connection to the shadier side of the French convoluted police system. Plenty of romance and cooking ! Is there a cook book and wine guide to go with this?
Overall I would say - if u like a easy listen with quite engaging characters try this series.
I have a slight issues with the narration in that the voice sounds a bit older but u get used to it.
