Title: To Kill a Troubadour
Review: If is not yet apparent, I simply adore these Walker “Bruno” mysteries of the French countryside. Set in the fabled Perigord gourmand region of southwestern France- they ruminate on history, culture, food/wine, and inside dope on the French way of life. Walker is an excellent writer and food/wine connoisseur. This one includes terrorism from Spanish radicals (maybe Russia induced) to undermine the historical Catalan culture that has existed as a Spanish part of France for many centuries- derived from the Occitan language and descended from Elinor of Aquitaine. You will leave these books entertained and informed, and they are hard to put down. After years of barriers the Bruno cookbooks (only previously in German) are being released in English soon- a blessing to us all.
