About this listen

 When an old man is found viciously murdered, a swastika carved in his chest, the obvious conclusion is that this killing must be racist. Suspicion falls on the son of the local doctor, found in flagrant playing sex games surrounded by Nazi paraphernalia.©2008 Walker and Watson Ltd (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

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.

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.

This book appealed to me as I am familiar with the Dordogne area and I could picture the setting.

I learned a lot about C20 French history and the French policing system as a result of listening to this novel.

I think those who support the cancel culture might not enjoy some aspects of this book and it does seem a little dated, although it is a fairly recently written.

However it is an easy listen and the narrator avoids the trap of using a fake French accent for his characterisations.

I found the clarity of sound production a little indistinct at times.

I am going to try another in the series.

Surprisingly informative about French history
