I love this series and was happy to back to France and meet again the cast of characters.
I think that this is a charming series and you cannot help craving the amazing food and wishing you could spend some time in Perigord with Bruno Courrèges and his friend.
Part of the charm is the description of the French lifestyle and part are the well written mysteries.
This book was no exception: I read it in one setting and the solution came as a surprise.
I loved the well researched historical background that plays an important role in this book.
The characters are lovely and well written, I love Bruno and Balzac his dog.
I am still wondering how they can eat so much food and not being obese or having some serious issues with their cholesterol but I assume it's part of the suspension of belief.
i look forward to reading the next installment in this series.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Quercus Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
