Not my cup of tea
I was looking for a cozy murder mystery and this series came highly recommended so I enthusiastically paid up for an Audible credit to listen.
However it wasn't really what I wanted for a book. Don't get me wrong, I love visiting France and French food and drink but it felt laboured with all the time spent spelling out all the details of these. Also it felt chauvinistic and old fashioned the way Bruno described every woman he came across and the way that his romance and set scenes were shoehorned in. Made me cringe.
I appreciate its difficult to voice these audio books with different voices for each character but many of the older men syrangely turned more northern British than French - something I found distracting.
And the actual murder investigation had very little content.
I won't be ploughing on with the rest of the series.

Bad Accents
Could of done without the regional English accents for French characters.
Hard to mentally escape when it reminds you of being down the local Tesco.

Mediocre
Bit disappointed in this as I really enjoyed Devils Cave. The story was not so gripping and the narrator did not hold me. Am not sure if I will listen to anymore but may try if different narrator.

Charming and quaint
Makes you fall in love with France whilst providing insight into life in a small town and old sins which come back to haunt people. The narrator has a soothing voice and brings the characters to life. And there are the great recipes for authentic French farm cooking. Meet Bruno local Chief of police working on racist murder case that is not what it looks like... enjoy.

Bruno - one of the best detectives :)
Clever, entertaining and leaves you constantly wanting to listen. After driving home from work, I sat in my drive way because I so eager to find out what happened! Well worth a listen and Ric Jerrom's voice works really well :)

Just tell me a story
It is a pity that an otherwise enjoyable book was spoiled for me by the author's constant repeating of his"little englander" opinions - anti-EEC, anti-German and the constant use throughout the book of the term "english", when the more accurate "british" should have been used. The ending also left a lot to be desired by arguing that the murder being investigated was in fact justified as the perpetrator was young.

Dull!
I can't decide if it was the narration or the story that I found tedious. I stuck with this book until the bitter end because this author is new to me and I didn't want to sell him short.
Although Bruno has some endearing traits, I just couldn't take to him. My favourite character was the Mayor.
Too much filler in descriptions of everything!
I feel as if I have wasted a credit here. I won't continue with this series.

Ok .... ish!
A rather feeble tale, well told and very well narrated. Bit tame although mildly diverting. You could never call it 'gripping' !!

Beautiful!
What a delightful story and beautiful narration. Lovely description of the little French village life, and smells, and sounds and tastes. Good gentle pace and fascinating plot.
Note- I have seen some negative reviews and I think that they must be for a different book.

Exceptional book, top quality narrating
A very interesting book about a small town, and a murder of an Algerian War Hero. Great book, keeps you interested and entertained all the way.
