About this listen
Bruno, Chief of Police, investigates when a body is found floating in the river showing marks of Satanism. France's favourite cop must track down a murderer while quelling his town's superstitious fears in this mystery, part of an internationally best-selling series.
It is springtime France's Périgord, a time of beauty and calm. But not for Bruno, chief of police of the small town of St Denis. A woman's body has been found on a boat, bearing signs of a black magic ritual.
Bruno has too much on his plate as it is - mediating a domestic abuse case that needs careful handling and a dodgy local development proposal that seems just too good to be true.
But a murder case must take precedent and the roots of this one lie buried deep in the past - linked to a chateau above a bend in the river, to the reclusive old woman who lives there and to the secret hidden in the Devil's Cave.

"An entertaining read - and not just for the Francophiles." (Manchester Evening News)
"Walker's finest yet...a first-rate mystery." (Entertainment Weekly)
It is a pity particularly because the narrator is quite good when he speaks normal English -- which is the reason I gave him two stars -- but why on earth does he find it necessary to use an accent that sounds like a really appalling parody? it is silly, it is inappropriate, and it is very very irritating.
good story, pity about the narration

I recommend this series to those who like mysteries of a rural nature, country people, village markets, lovely local or home made food and village sentiments.
I’ve given 5 stars because I really enjoyed the plot of this one and the whole mystery.
Bruno really is the best
