Bruno knows everyone, and sees his job as keeping the peace and supporting the citizens of his town rather more than upholding the law. But a brutal killing brings down the forces of Paris, and leads to multiple conflicts. But, of course, in the end things basically work out. Kind of a Provence version of Louise Penny, but with a substantial bit of Miss Marple thrown in. A very enjoyable read, and one I was happy to return to at every opportunity.
Also read The Old Man and the Sea, for the first time in at least 45 years, so it was completely new to me. Obviously, it's a story that has stood the test of time, and I am grateful to The Terminator for uploading it. I hope some other Hemingways are uploaded now that he is out of copyright here in Canada (and other Life+50 countries).

Wow, I haven't read
The Old Man and the Sea for about that long as well. Just where can I find this upload so I can download it?
