Description

Death in the Dordogne, the first Bruno, Chief of Police Investigation, is a gripping mystery that sets the tone for a beloved series. In the idyllic French town of St Denis, a murder takes place, and suspicion falls on the son of the local doctor, who is found playing sex games surrounded by Nazi paraphernalia. However, policeman Bruno is not convinced and suspects the crime may be linked to a darker period in French history - World War 2.

As Bruno delves deeper into the case, he must navigate the complex web of secrets and lies that the people of St Denis are desperate to keep buried. But can he uncover the truth without the townspeople's cooperation? The book is a wonderful introduction to the region and its culture, with vivid descriptions of people, place, food, and wine.
