'A thoroughly enjoyable book and the introduction to a great series' 5 READER REVIEW Crime fiction fans worldwide are talking about the Dordogne Mysteries. In the first book in this beloved series, read and discover why, and what dark secrets are lurking in the idyllic French town of St Denis. When an old man, head of an immigrant North African family, is found murdered, suspicion falls on the son of the local doctor, discovered playing sex games surrounded by Nazi paraphernalia. But policeman Bruno isn't convinced, and suspects the crime has its roots in that most tortured period of French history - World War 2, a time of terror and betrayal that set brother against brother. Now it's up to him to find the killer - but will the people of St Denis allow him to go digging through a past they long to forget in order to do so? 'An auspicious beginning and can be recommended unreservedly' 5 READER REVIEW 'The descriptions of people, the area, food and wine give a great insight to this part in France' 5 READER REVIEW 'I could almost see the countryside, taste the food, appreciate the characters' 5 READER REVIEW 'The book is wonderful and I have purchased the next four' 5 READER REVIEW 'Whether you fancy a trip through the sleepy Dordogne or a fascinating crime story then this book is for you' 5 READER REVIEW
