“To-die-for atmospheric mysteries . . . Fans of the late Robert B. Parker’s Spenser series (where love of cooking infused each mystery) will find a new home with the Gourmand Bruno.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Reoccurring series characters add depth to the story and draw readers into the small, countryside community of St. Denis. Vivid descriptions of the Périgord region and French cooking are an added treat for Francophiles. Recommended for fans of the series as well as readers of Donna Leon. Louise Penny, and anyone who enjoys cozy mysteries set in foreign locales.” —Library Journal
“Entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly
“Walker’s latest is replete with incident, but like the frequent dinners his hero prepares for friends, paying guests, and the occasional visiting FBI agent, its abundance seems just one more testimony to the richness of the region.” —Kirkus
