Hi All,

I listened to The Food Programme on Radio 4 today while in the car and they had a feature on food and cookery in crime fiction. Having just got back from the Dordogne, I was interested to hear an author interviewed about his food-loving, French police detective featured in books set in the Perigord. It turns out this author has also written historical fiction about the caves in the region.

I always like reading books set in the areas I am visiting on holiday, so thought this might interest some lovers of this region, who might be stuck for something to read! I can't vouch for how good they are, but here is a link to the author's website anyway...

Martin Walker - Bruno Courreges books

Well it's a good sign that there is more than one book - so they must be selling!

We read a rather odd series of books by Fred Vargas (a French woman writer!!) - again they are crime, but written in a very French way.  They are an entertaining read whilst on holiday - but somehow they are all a bit strange.  They aren't the sort of topics that would be written about by an English writer, put it that way.

Thanks for the heads up. They seem a well rated series on Amazon. Might give one a go. I'd be interested in the politics too, and the differences in the various police functions.

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

If like us, you visit the Lot next door to the Dordogne then I can recommend the Enzo files series by Peter May about a Scottish Italian forensic pathologist living in Cahors?!!

Best read in order starting with Extraordinary People
