There is a lot happening in St Denis keeping Bruno, chief of police, busy. There is a new magistrate, animal liberation activists letting ducks and geese free to wander, a body found at an archaeological site and a high level ministerial meeting taking place that may be the target of a terrorist attack by ETA. Bruno has to weave his magic to smooth the path through all the troubles and come out on top. Except for his trouble love life, nothing seems to go right.
There is a lot of things happening but it all makes for a very enjoyable read. The characters are likeable and life in a small France village seems ideal. But there is also danger and history always seems to come back and bite you. But this just makes things even better.
Great read.
