Back in St. Denis with Chief of Police Bruno and as always it was a delight. The gastronomic delights of the French countryside and the fine wine were flowing. I believe, as one character classes them, I have become "one of Bruno's women". No sexual context there (lol), it is just that Bruno is that type of man who has many women as good friends.

A lot going on in this story: the death of an old Resistance man, the inclusion of a train robbery from the same era. Robberies of antiques and the history of Frances nuclear weapons program. I like Walker's research into the history of this era and the are of Périgord and find I learn something new each time. This book receives the 4th star as until the very end I was stymied as to "who-did-it"
