Bruno, Chief of Police #13
The Shooting at Chateau Rock
Martin Walker
Bruno is still busy in his kitchen and enjoying others' culinary efforts and in this outing, #13, coaching tennis.
A wealthy old man dies under suspicious circumstances but it's hard to determine cause of death when the body has been cremated and the ashes scattered. So Bruno is looking for possible motivating factors for murder rather than heart attack.
Yes, these are murder mysteries but Bruno's social life occupies the greater part of the story. Given his taste in wines and gourmet foods it would seem he has an excellent salary.
When international intrigue get involved justice gets short shrift to political expediency. This begins to sound more like a Le Carré spy thriller.
