My Number 6 Best Read of 2015 and Gavel Award for Best New (to me) AuthorĪt the time of writing this review, Children of War is the most recent book in the series. There's always light and laughter no matter what the circumstances are.Ī laissez faire, but highly interesting, fast paced read again. The author has a gentle way of addressing reality without seeking a story in the dungeons of darkness. What I love about this series is that serious issues are counterbalanced with lighter moments. Life is one big war, but Bruno knows how to grab the good moments in between and celebrate the ultimate highs, the rare moments of happiness that can pass one by in an instant. Allow myself a few months in between the books in this series, but it is always such a pleasure to be back in our dearly beloved police chief's life.
I take it slow with our hero and his shenanigans. Denis again was a delightful, highly dramatic experience, filled with the usual elements to make it a classic Benoît Courèges moment. And perhaps there's a new love interest for this dashing man on a horse. He loves animals, and his vegetable garden is sublime. Well, what else can be expected? Nobody knows how to keep a town happy like the rugby-loving, high voltage policeman who cooks up a storm, knows how to treat women, and have all criminals shudder in his presence. That is, after he could get a serious diplomatic and political crises disappear in the line of fire. Bruno, chief of police has his hands full and his arsenal ready to take on every single moment as it comes, and walking out as the hero of France.
Deutz is invited, under high security circumstances to observe Sami, an autistic young man who return from Afghanistan under mysterious circumstances. Pamela is still determined not to get married, still only allow men to love her when she desires it Fabiola is still the doctor in town, doing well, until a Dr. Huge old chateaus and French bucolic magic abound. Jihadists, Holocaust survivors, orphans, a young dog, powerful horses, beautiful women and scrumptious food fill the palette again. Nevertheless, we're back with the most important police officer in St.Denis, France.
Well, I guess it happened before and will happen again with many books being published on both sides of the Atlantic. Two different titles for two different markets and it is HIGHLY confusing!!!! Both books are no. "The Children Return" and "Children of War" is actually the same book.
