Bruno will be the Maigret of the Dordogne -- Antony
Beevor
It's beguiling, evocative and utterly wonderful. it also
made me very hungry . . . the Alexander McCall Smith of La
France Profonde -- Francis Wheen
The selling point of this delightful book is its setting in
the legendary France profonde . . . Walker brings to life both a
complete community and the chief of police who is its
protector, teacher and friend. This book's ingredients are combined
as carefully as Bruno's good meals * Literary Review *
Has many of the characteristics of Golden Age novels, above
all the apparently remote setting which reveals its involvement in
wider events. Martin Walker's Dordogne is worth a visit * Times
Literary Supplement *
The pleasures of life in the Dordogne, some distinctive
well-rounded characters and an intriguing mystery are
a winning combination . . . one of the most enjoyable books
I've read in a long time * Telegraph *
[Death on the Dordogne] may be a gentle book but it does not
pull its punches. It is well-written, introducing a charming,
likeable main character: a satisfying detective story; and
conveying a strong love and understanding of the Dordogne
region of France * Eurocrime *
Deftly dark, mesmerizing, and totally engaging * French
Embassy *
