Bruno, Chief of Police

review 1: Even though I happened to read this second in the series out of order, I think it may be the best -- so far -- of those I've read. It was, as always, a nice mixture of who-doneit with local rural French charm and political/historical enhancement.Rumor has it that this series has been optioned by BBC producers. If it becomes one of those series that appears on PBS, I would look forward to seeing this - in spite of the normal reluctance to see a movie or TV representation of characters who have come to life in my own imagination.
review 2: 3.5 stars. A charming cosy sequel to "Bruno, Chef de Police". This time, the interest focuses on the wines and wine growing in the Dordogne, and includes a bit of international commercial espionage. A light but very enjoyable r... moreead for anyone who likes France and wines but isn't expecting a literary masterpiece. I certainly wouldn't go so far as to compare Bruno, the municipal policeman, with Louise Penny's absolutely incredible Inspecteur Gamache or even Donna Leon's Guido Brunetti! less
