I wouldn't normally read murder mysteries, but this book was recommended by a friend who has never let me down when it comes to books.

I loved it. Bruno was a likeable character, clever and devoted to his job and the people of his town. The story was full of twists and turns and misdirection.

I particularly liked the history that was thrown into the mix (and I'm sure that's why it was recommended to me) as well as the description of the food.

I'll certainly have to read more from Martin Walker.
