Bruno recommendation
Discovered, almost accidentally, an excellent read - "Bruno Chief of Police" by Martin Walker - the trials and tribulations of a policeman in a small town and surroundings in the Dordoigne area of France. Fascinating, and - to my eyes anyway, authentic, and truly gives a whiff of small town France.
Very enjoyable. |

A class-mate of mine once failed his French exam for translating "roman policier" as "Italian cop".

Thanks very much for the recommendation. I'm now halfway through #3 ("Black Diamond") and enjoying it at least as much as nos 1 and 2.

The Resistance Man was released today, in the UK.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Resistance-B...mm_kin_title_0 It is not due to be released until February 25, 2014 in the US. If you have not read the series give it a try. Apache |

Children of War is set to be released on May 22, 2014 in the UK.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Children-War...=Martin+Walker There is not a release date for the US yet, that I could find. Another reason to love Amazon UK. Apache |

I really need to sort out what it takes to set up an Amazon UK account.
