As for Bruno himself, he's superman. Children are rescued from slurry pits and fires and even when he's dressed as Father Christmas he still manages to put up a good fight for law and order. He's a single man who would love a family and it's difficult to understand why some good woman doesn't just snap him up. He's a man's man too, with his hunting and shooting and the odd contact sport just to liven a dull day.
It's a good story and I certainly didn't expect it to end the way that it did, despite the fact that all the clues were there. There's a certain charm to the story which put me in mind of [[A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle|A year Year in Provence]] and despite some particularly gruesome situations there's a degree of humour which I wasn't expecting, but which was very welcome. All the loose ends were tied up – perhaps a little too neatly for my taste as live is rarely that tidy – but I'll certainly look forward to reading the next Bruno Courreges story.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
