Bruno, Chief of Police

review 1: Another excellent entry into this series. Martin Walker's fictional French country town of St. Denis is again at the center of a large national crisis and the nearly impossibly perfect chief of police, Bruno, has to help solve problems big and small--all while playing and coaching rugby, cooking with the skill of the best chefs, dealing with inept gendarmes, and trying to find a woman that will share his country life. Bruno might seem too good to be true, but he's a rock solid character and Walker's France is concrete and inviting. If St. Denis was real, I'd be heading there for a visit. Plus, it's not all fun and games. This novel, even more so than it's three predecessors, has some dark moments. All hail Bruno.
review 2: Another fun read of Bruno and his colo... morerful friends in the village of St. Denis. So sad to read about the loss of his basset hound Gigi. I get hungry every time Bruno cooks for his friends - he does all this while he solves the latest crime. In this case the ETA, a Basque separatist organization, have come to wreak havoc in this bucolic little town. Loved it and can't wait to visit Bruno in the 5th book of the series. less
