'The irresistible Bruno ... leaping up mountains and plunging into caves as he prevents various ingenious crimes and plots from upsetting the traditional way of life in St Denis' Literary Review. 'Superb in its relentless sense of truth catching up with falsehood' We Love This Book. 'I wanted to put it down, if only to make it last a little bit longer, but resistance was futile' French Village Diaries. 'Perfect reading for a hot summer's day as you easily slip into the slower pace of country life - and then feel the pangs of hunger as Bruno gets going in the kitchen' Connexion. 'Walker is one of the few non-French writers writing about L'Hexagone's characters in English from a French perspective. Here he does it so well you feel as if you are reading an indigenous author's translated work' France Magazine. 'The setting in all the books is so vividly drawn that anyone who has visited the area on a caving holiday will feel instantly at home' Descent Magazine. 'an excellent addition to a series that is maturing as richly as the wines and cheeses that grace its pages' Reviewing the Evidence. 'An entertaining read - and not just for the Francophiles' Manchester Evening News. 'A gripping read ... descriptions of the French countryside and food make you wish you were in Saint Denis, despite its crime rate' Destination France.
