Title: A French Country Murder
Review: A book in desperate need of an editor! In the end it lost me and I tried, I really tried. The plot started with the central character falling out with a colleague in the CIA. {Possible, not a problem there} And in despair he lands at Charles de Gaulle Airport north of Paris and from there walks to Spain and half way back again. The Author might have done his case some good if he had actually visited CDG or Paris. I do believe he visited the Village in the Loire, but Mr Steiner France isnt that small. Paris to San Sebastien on foot is considerably further than Chicago to Jackson Mississippi! If you want a good detective story with the flavour and aromas of France, tuck into the Bruno series by Martin Walker, or The Adamsberg series by Fred Vargas, [who is French but well translated into English].
