TO KILL A TROUBADOUR Bruno, Chief of Police, Book 15

Chief of Police Bruno, of St. Denis, in the Dordogne region of France, is brought alive by the stylish narration of Robert Ian Mackenzie. Bruno faces a number of challenges, including terrorists in his region, a tense political situation between France and Spain, and the potential return of the abusive ex-husband of his close friend. Mackenzie's familiarity and fondness for the characters is apparent as he uses his narration skills to characterize the often larger-than-life key characters. His pacing is particularly strong, moving the plot along during the sometimes lengthy descriptive scenes, helping to blend them into the plot. Mackenzie's strong use of accents helps to create an authentic backdrop for this cozy mystery. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2022]
