Bruno, the beloved chief of police in the idyllic French town of St. Denis, is back! This time a mysterious death brings ancient secrets to light, and it's up to our hero - and favorite gourmand - to connect the tangled threads of past and present.

When a woman's body is found at the foot of a cliff near St. Denis, Bruno suspects a connection to the great ruin that stands on the cliff above: the Chateau de Commarque, a long-ago Knights Templar stronghold that, along with the labyrinth of prehistoric caves beneath it, continues to draw the interest of scholars. With the help of Amelie, a young newcomer to the Dordogne, Bruno learns that the dead woman was an archaeologist searching for a religious artifact of incredible importance, the discovery of which could have dramatic repercussions throughout the Middle East - not to mention in St. Denis. And the woman's ties to Islamic terrorists can only heighten the pressure on Bruno to unravel the centuries-old mystery. Meanwhile, an old flame of Bruno's is assigned to work with him on the case, and the two find time, naturellement, to enjoy the supreme pleasures of the wine, food, and beauty of the Dordogne.

I always love his descriptions of French country cuisine and culture. But why, if the main character is French, is the narrator speaking with an English accent? His female character voices are grating. Aside from the English accent issue the narrator does well with male characters.

Once again a great read

I’m not sure why I loved this book the most in the series. The books are all from the same writer and the same reader. Perhaps the ancient caves of France, oldest man, original art and Jean M. Auel’s books Clan Of The Cave Bear have had an influence on me❤️.
And who doesn’t love a good mystery, a few dead people and a wedding!!!

The Templar’s Last Secret was a hit!

The story of the attack by Islamic terrorists fits perfectly into today’s live news story of President Macron’s vow to do something about the violence that has steadily increased in France in recent days.

The characters that Walker adds to Bruno’ s coterie continues to intrigue and the education of Bruno by another female assistant moved us further and further into the 21st century.
And I was thrilled to see Isabel back in the picture.

The Best of Bruno so far!

Current and fast paced, the mystery itself kept my interest. However, the descriptions of food and wine are worth many bookmarks!

Excellent story for Templar nerds

Not my favorite of Walkers stories but Bruno is like an old friend by now.

Always a good story and outstanding performance.
