I'm taking a break from him. The first few books were good but, as I've said about other books, there were too increasingly annoying problems. First, Isabelle is a plot line that far outlived it's purpose. Second, there's not enough interesting murder in a rural region in France that everything has to be international mysteries with an annoying Brigadier spy-master? Now, we add a third. Only a schmuck of an author brings up homosexuality and can't do so without bringing up pedophilia, as if they must go together.

The plot doesn't matter, the above three things have ruined the series.
