About this listen

France, 1963. Taken out of his home town as part of a nationwide “initiative”, Inspector Lucas Rocco finds himself in the village of Poissons-Les-Marais, Picardie – and answerable to his former army CO Francois Massin. On his first day he finds a murdered woman wearing a Gestapo uniform lying in a British military cemetery. When the body is removed from the mortuary before Rocco can finish his investigation, he traces the paperwork to the dead woman’s father, industrialist Philippe Bayer-Berbier. Following an attempt on one villager’s life and the disappearance of another, Rocco uncovers a series of connections with Berbier. He sets out to discover what has led to the woman’s death…and why Berbier will go to any lengths to stop his investigation.

I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed listening to this book which I must have bought years ago.

Good story and well told, a timely reminder of the Great War and its effects in Picardy afterwards.

Good

An exciting and complex plot, and interesting setting of rural France after WW11. Gordon Griffin was an excellent narrator, in fact he was a big part of the reason that I chose this title. I'm sorry he is not narrating later books in the series, as I really enjoy listening to him.

Great start to a series
