The Dark Vineyard Audiobook

" Enjoyable second entry in series featuring Bruno, the Maigret of the Dordogne: atmosphere, characterization and setting combine for a superlative if rather cozy mystery. "

" French ambiance, wine lore "

" An excellent mystery steeped in details of life in a small French village. Highly recommended. "

" An okay storyline and easy to read. I didn't care for the main character, and I just felt like I had random character names thrown at me constantly. It was hard to keep up with the characters and know which ones were going to be important keystones to the novel and which ones weren't. "

" Another charming installment in the Bruno, Chief of Police Series. Onto number three! "

" The pleasures of life in the Dordogne, Walker provides a glimpse of a gentle, traditional, idealized French countryside. This novel has two murders, arson, industrial espionage, violence, etc., but all is settled with hard work but a minimum of fuss. It is a sweet escape. "

" I don't think I will try another one... "

" I'm loving this series as I continue to read it. "

" This is the second in the Bruno, chief of police, series and it just keeps getting better! Can't wait to read the next book! "

" In France, small town, local characters, lotsa wine and descriptions of scenery, with a plot that kept me guessing. "

" A murder mystery set in French wine country was entertaining and renewed my desire to visit France! I really liked the long-suffering small town cop with the heart of gold who plods along tracking the killer. quite delightfult. "

" I love this series. Am always disappointed when I finish. I wish there were more! "

" I love this series, the man, the scenery, food, wine. Want to go there and met Bruno! "

" Fun, light reading. You'll want to cook after reading it. "

" Enjoying....a little masculine 'trite' but the details are really rich. "

" Love this book too. Read all 4 of these Martin Walker books right after each other. Couldn't put them down and would read another if there was one. Good stories and great characters. "

" Easy to read police story set in rural France. Very enjoyable, nice pace, and explores both the rural community and bigger issues. I love France so even better. Good summer reading. "

" Solid crime novel with interesting setting. Enjoyed it. "

" Another great read from Martin Walker. On to the next one.... "

" Another very enjoyable escape in this series. These books combine a sweet depiction of small-town France with contemporary themes that anchor stories in reality. "

" Good local colour - less good story I felt. "

" Compares nicely to Donna Leon's Brunetti in Italy. This all takes place in France. "
