Editorial Reviews
“Engaging…Bruno the charming police
chief of the Dordogne is transcended by Bruno the brilliant chef…This is not
the first Bruno mystery, and it certainly should not be the last.” —Washington Times
“What’s not to like?…To those
making Bruno’s acquaintance for the first time: don’t be surprised if you come
away from this book with a hankering to read another six or seven novels in
this series—and maybe even plan a trip to France really soon.” —New York Journal of Books
“A passionate valentine to the
splendors of the slow life: walking through the pastoral countryside, engaging
in friendly gossip at the farmer’s market, or enjoying an inspired wine and
cheese partnership at the corner bistro…[even as] the tranquility of life in
Bruno’s village is threatened by forces inside and out.” —Washington Independent Review of Books
“Endearing…Existing fans and newcomers alike will savor Walker’s ability to smoothly fold suspense into his Périgordian soufflé.” —Publishers Weekly
“Rides on horseback through the French countryside of the Dordogne. Elaborately prepared and explained meals. Wines. And, oh yes, a mystery blended into this heady mix. While most readers think the British have a line on cozies, Walker makes a great case for the French version…Much to admire and sigh over in this appetizing mystery.” —Booklist
“The Resistance Man evokes all the history, culture, romance, and
fine food and drink you might expect of French village life, and yet there is
still the opportunity for a heinous crime or two to spice things up…Endlessly
charming, funny, warm, and clever, with a hero evocative of John Mortimer’s
Rumpole or Colin Cotterill’s Dr. Siri, The
Resistance Man is sure to satiate Walker’s many fans and win him lots more
in the bargain.” —BookPage
“As usual…[a] celebration of la
belle France. But this time, Bruno, who’s required to act as enforcer, sleuth,
diplomat, comforter, impersonator, hostage negotiator, and rescuer, reveals
unexpected resources.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Narrator Robert Ian Mackenzie
takes author Walker’s perspective of provincial France very seriously. His
performance is paced so clearly with unhurried summer warmth and fertile
imagery that the listener is transported to the Dordogne countryside.
Mackenzie’s beautiful French pronunciations complete the picture. But before
the listener becomes too lulled by local cuisine, excellent wines, the
complications of new romance, and gardening and renovation plans, Police Chief
Bruno becomes immersed in a plot that begins with the death of an elderly WWII
Resistance fighter who is linked to a notorious train robbery. More murder and
mayhem ensue, but not before a delectable meal and sip of a profound wine. Winner
of an AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
