4.5* upped to 5
I thoroughly enjoyed this story as it's an interesting and gripping story with a strong reference to what is happening now.
I was happy to catch up with Bruno and his friends, spent a lot of time wishing I could have a Bruce dog and loving the mouthwatering descriptions of food.
This is more a political thriller that the other novels and I appreciated what I learned and the descriptions of the actions.
The Occitane part left me wondering as it's more complex, a true Occitan would support the Catalonia independence but there they would also talk about Ousitania Libra plus there's also a strong Occitan community in Italy, my mother was born in that area.
Even if I found this part a bit fictional I thoroughly enjoyed the story and loved the tense final.
Can't wait to read the next Bruno's story.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
