review 1: Short, cheap and quite comfy!Sweet, but uninteresting; a bit like a women's mag story (I hope that doesn't sound sexist), which have an established role in many people's lives.I live in Brittany and don't see local life through such rose-coloured spectacles. The bit about the Probation Officer's role seems extremely unlikely.Not trying to put it down - a Christmasy, cosy story, but just not for me.
review 2: First Sentence: The last market day before Christmas in the small French town of St. Denis was unusually cold.St. Denis police chief Bruno Courréges is multi-tasking, as usual. He’s organizing carolers, playing Father Christmas and preparing for a Christmas feast. In spite of the freezing weather, all is going well…until money raised for charity goe... mores missing.Lately, it hasn’t been easy finding a good Christmas story that is both enjoyable yet not too saccharine. Walker has done the trick.Bruno is such a wonderful character. He is very much part of his village and a role model to its youth. He is strict when he needs to be, yet wise and a peacemaker when he can be. The story is light—it is a holiday story, after all—but thoroughly enjoyable. It is also another example of an author using food to entice and delight us. I do want a Bruno cookbook. If you’re looking for a heavy, serious police procedural; this is not it. However, if you’re in need of a delightful read and a quick visit to Provence, I highly recommend “Bruno and the Carol Singers”. If you’ve not yet read the “Bruno” series, I highly recommend that as well.BRUNO AND THE CAROL SINGERS (Pol Proc-Bruno Courréges-France-Contemp) – VGWalker, Martin – eBook NoveletteKnopf, 2012 less
