*Guardian*
Hugely enjoyable and absolutely gripping. Martin Walker has got off
to a flying start in what promises to be a great series. 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*
