A missing woman, a shocking pregnancy, a dash of international intrigue, and a bottle or two of good Bergerac: It's another case for Bruno, Chief of Police.

When a British tourist fails to turn up for a luxurious cooking vacation in Bruno's usually idyllic Dordogne village of St. Denis, the worried hostess is quick to call on Bruno for help. Monica Felder is nowhere to be found, and her husband, a retired British major, is unreachable. And not long after Bruno discovers that Monica was traveling with a mysterious Irishman (her lover?), the two turn up dead. The Irishman's background in intelligence and his connection to Monica's husband only raise more questions for Bruno. Was she running away? How much does her husband really know? What's the real story behind a scandal buried in the threesome's military past?

Meanwhile, the star of the girls' rugby team, a favorite of Bruno's, is pregnant, putting at risk her chances of being named to the French national squad. Bruno's search for the truth in both cases leads him to places he hadn't intended to go - but, as ever, he and his friends take time to savor the natural delights of the Dordogne. Sante!

Bruno is every woman ‘s dream. Tough and competent as Chief of police, a great cook, a wine connoisseur and a legendary lover. His descriptions of the French countryside and the food and wine of the area make you want to read more and more of his adventures. A light and wonderful read!

An interesting development of the character, formalizing his evolution as a town bobby of sorts to a regional police chief dealing with policies and operations on a grander level. I think it worked ok in this book but we’ll see about how it changes the series in later books.

Another fine Bruno
