Pre-order the next adventure in this bestselling mystery series featuring France's favourite country cop, Bruno, as he investigates the brutal murder of a woman newly arrived to the quiet town of St. Denis . . .

Bruno Courrѐges, chief of police of the Dordogne town of St Denis, is no stranger to murder. But when he receives a phone call from his friend, Pamela, reporting a fatal attack on her newly arrived lodger, Josette Quirit, he is forced to recuse himself from the investigation due to his close ties to the case.

Luckily, he has a project to distract him. For hundreds of years, the market of St. Denis has been the beating heart of the small town. Now, suddenly, customers and stallholders alike have fallen away dramatically. Frustrated with his work - where a new, young detective has been brought in to replace him - Bruno throws himself into breathing new life into his beloved market.

But it's not long before Bruno finds himself caught up in the investigation again when it transpires that Josette is not quite the kindly nurse she first appeared to be...

Praise for The Dordogne Mysteries:

'Makes you want to buy a plane ticket and immerse yourself in deepest France' Irish Independent

'A charming French village, great food, eccentric characters and a mystery to nudge things along . . . Savoury indeed' Seattle Times

'Consistently charming. . . . Bruno Courrèges may be a small-town cop, but he's anything but small-minded. Walker . . . has created a character who's endearingly human and worldly wise' Booklist

French tourism should raise a glass to [Walker's] Dordogne Mysteries
A captivating, ingenious slice of escapism
A must-read, atmospheric and wonderfully complex whodunnit
This is the perfect Summer escape novel, with a cracking crime at its heart

Just wonderful to be back in your world. If the Dordogne is half as good as you portray, it must be a jewel.

The life and characters are beguiling

The different loves of Bruno do not distract from the murder they show the human side of him and also the pressures of work both for a policeman and a modern woman with a business. All sensitive and well dealt with. The cooking is always interesting and the Bassett Hounds always lighten the mood. Another excellent novel. Very absorbing.

I love the fact that this story is modern i.e. Netflix and Supermarkets a real challenge.

It is always nice to have a new Bruno mystery and this one doesn’t disappoint.

Enough twists and turns to stay connected

It was ok. Not the best Bruno story. I am bemused at his relationships with women. The story of the dinner seemed to take up an awful lot of time. Not sure what it contributed to the story. All in all I was quite disappointed really. Sorry!

I listened to it all but felt nonplussed at the end.

I find the blend of deep France culture and serious crime hugely engaging. Walker has created a world I’d love to live in (minus the crime maybe), with characters I love to hear about and plot and character developments I’m always keen to follow. I hope he means it when he says there’s more to come.

Far and away my favourite series
