Charming and quaint
Makes you fall in love with France whilst providing insight into life in a small town and old sins which come back to haunt people. The narrator has a soothing voice and brings the characters to life. And there are the great recipes for authentic French farm cooking. Meet Bruno local Chief of police working on racist murder case that is not what it looks like... enjoy.

Great story!
First class characters, interesting to learn some history of the region which as well woven into the story. Really worth a listen.

Atmospheric
Rather involved story, but very well researched. I learned a lot about the wartime events in France. Gentle and sympathetic, Bruno is a lovely character!

Beautiful!
What a delightful story and beautiful narration. Lovely description of the little French village life, and smells, and sounds and tastes. Good gentle pace and fascinating plot.
Note- I have seen some negative reviews and I think that they must be for a different book.

Not PC Plod, exactly.
Martin Walker is as good for Dordogne tourism as an outbreak of Black Plague! First of a series set in the village of Saint Denis, with a murder rate exceeding that of Midsomer, and too much history, social inequality and conspiracy, far too many guns and breakfast alcohol.
The audiobook seems to be a US edition; there are unfamiliar expressions like "slacks" - a US type of trousers, which sound very unflattering, and "cell phone" - a mobile, not communication from gaol!
Walker portrays a France just as flawed as that of Balzac, Flaubert and Zola, but with Bruno, a decent man trying to find stability and community after a lonely childhood and traumatic military service.

I think I may have found my next series of books.
I enjoyed this book. The first in a series of novels is always interesting. I love getting to know all the characters.

Bad Accents
Could of done without the regional English accents for French characters.
Hard to mentally escape when it reminds you of being down the local Tesco.

A lovely surprise. Highly recommended!
"Bruno, Chief of Police" was such a lovely surprise. I really enjoyed the gorgeous setting, a solid mystery, fascinating bits of WWII history and succinct yet exact examples of French nature and thinking. The author masterfully mixes relaxing, cosy crime writing with social commentary and funny moments. "Bruno, Chief of Police" is relaxing and fun yet exciting and thrilling. Most recommended!
