Bruno, Chief of Police #18
An Enemy in the Village
A real estate agent’s suicide sends shockwaves through the idyllic town of St. Denis, leading Bruno, Chief of Police, to suspect that there’s more to this tragedy than meets the eye.
When Bruno receives a call reporting a motionless figure in a car parked outside a beauty salon, he arrives ready to investigate. What he finds is a suicide note and the dead body of Monique, a successful businesswoman who sold chateaus to wealthy ex-pats. It seems like an open and shut case.
But Bruno can’t shake the feeling that something sinister lurks underneath this tidy narrative. After he delivers Monique’s final messages to those most important to her, malicious gossip about Bruno begins to spread through the village. One thing leads to another, and soon protesters are showing up outside the precinct, demanding that Bruno be taken off the job. Despite this disturbing turn of events, Bruno remains Bruno, never one to turn down a fine meal with good company in the French countryside. In the course of inquiry, he meets Jilly—and her dog, which happens to be the same breed as his beloved basset hound. As sparks fly and Bruno realizes just how much he has at stake, he races to find out what really happened to Monique, before he loses his badge, his new love—or worse.

I read the first book in this series in January 2023. Eighteen books later and a quote from my review of that book is as appropriate now as it was then:
"Bruno is a charismatic man who spends the whole book charming the ladies, debating himself and others out of trouble, cooking up a veritable gastronomic storm, and generally enjoying his life very much. It was a pleasure to read. Of course there were crimes and there were political issues but Bruno seems like the person to make it all go away and I was happy to be in his hands."
Of course the ladies, the food, the political issues and the crimes change in each book but St Denis, its life style and Bruno himself do not change, and nor should they. This is what I keep going back for.
An Enemy in the Village begins with Bruno discovering a dead woman in a car, apparently a suicide. As a result of the ensuing investigation he meets Laura, a business woman who owns of all things a female Bassett hound. A relationship is an obvious prospect for Balzac and hopefully for Bruno too. I am looking forward to the next book already.

Have you ever read a book or a series where you feel that you are really engaged in the life of the protagonist? I have and this series is one of them. An Enemy in the Village by Martin Walker rates without a doubt as one of my absolute favorites from a current author. We get to follow Bruno Courrѐges who is the chief of police in the beautiful Dordogne area of France. He lives in the village of St Denis and when he isn't policing he cooks, drink wine, hunts, ride horses and train the local children in tennis and rugby. Oh, I mustn't forget he spends a lot of time with his friends. The police system in France is a bit complicated, they actually have three types of police and two of them are run by the state and one which is the one Bruno is part of is employed by the local mayor. Sounds complicated? Well it leads to some territorial disputes sometimes. This book starts with Bruno finding a dead woman in a car along the road, is it natural or is it something sinister behind it? Well I recommend that you get the book read it and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did. I actually think you should start from the beginning and follow this unusual policeman on his journey together with his trusted bassset Balzac. I always feel amazed at the way this author catches me with his writings and I often wish I could discover this series all over again.

The author must have thought, “ I’ll just start writing and a plot will come to me.” Well, it never came to him.
This book is awful. Walker must need cash to sign off on this.
I have read all the Bruno books. I really don’t know why. Probably to keep my record perfect as well as in the hope that the stories will return to the quality of the first two or three books.
The fetishization of food continues. No one cares anymore.
This is a travel guide with barroom history sidetracks that fill up the pages while you wait for something interesting to happen.
The pages dedicated to weird descriptions of the life and sexual liaisons of Balzac are brutal. Who cares about the damn dog.
No mas. I am done with Bruno. He is in awe to the wonder women that he surrounds himself with. Doctors, lawyers, prosecutors, notaries, constables are all women, all tops in their fields and all mysteriously feminine in the extreme. Ugh.
Most male characters are secondary and or vile.
I gather that Walker is writing to his audience. That audience just lost one of its rare male members.

Oh my goodness - these used to be such interesting books that included intrigue, history, well-rounded characters and a good mystery. This one seems to be confused - cozy? romance? trite?
How many scenes can Bruno look dreamily at Laura (while their dogs do the same)? Even the "mystery" wasn't that challenging. Most of the great characters were left out; this was so disappointing.

During this extremely warm summer, I'm writing bite-sized reviews at best.
FINALLY! Bruno is back in local crime and not up against international, state-sponsored, or other high-profile crime and/or terrorism right there, in the darkest backwaters of rural France.
It's a sensible, enjoyable novel that's very much about Bruno and his friends, the Greems, the Left, and the Right who all decide to go up against our noble hero policeman. There's a newly-dead woman, a new very-much-alive woman, dinners with everyone and, literally and metaphorically, their dogs, a woman who finally says good-bye, and, perhaps, a new job on the horizon for Bruno.
If you liked the earler Bruno novels, I'm sufficiently sure you'll enjoy this one. If you dislike this one's predecessors, you'll also like this one. So, what are you waiting for?

I have read all of Martin Walker's Bruno books and loved them ...but this one? wow, what happened, Mr. Walker? Too many recipes, too many characters, too much Balzac, too much fluff. No real interesting mystery to follow and too many plot lines.
Very weird that it started with a death that wasn't discussed or resolved
until the very end and so, in between, another plot was added that was also not interesting.
And I was so looking forward to reading this one, what a shame. I hope his next book goes back to his original writing style. I hate to have this one be my last Bruno book.

I really liked this series at first. But Bruno’s continued claims of wanting a family while choosing the absolute worst woman to achieve this goal are getting old. This book barely had any of the other characters we’ve come to expect from past books.

Bruno is back! This was much better than the recent entries.
A slow burn, definitely not a heart-pounding criminal scheme with international involvement, but that's ok by me. This was a local affair, start to finish, with the focus on the characters...with many future possibilities being hinted at.
One spoiler/not spoiler, because if you've read the books you already know in your heart: I will mourn what might have been with Florence. She's a sweet and decent woman. I will need to know she's happy before I totally warm to any other woman in Bruno's life.

An enjoyable read and addition to the series. A bit low on action seeing several vendetta's against Frances favourite policeman with a very active trouser snake. This one centre's around a suicide of a local business woman and the fall out that follows. Not too much of the crime until the climax.
I felt with this book it was setting up the next stage in the Bruno series with the introductions of new characters, and the closure of some relationships. It will be interesting to see where it goes next.
As ever the setting and cuisine are the stars of the show, if only St Denis was a real place. I would happily love to park up at Bruno's with Balzac on my lap and spend the evening.

This used to be a good series. I understand that the author loves the part of France he lives in and wants us to know its history. But this conflicts with the construction of a good story. The dialogue has gotten laughably stilted. I think I might be done with Bruno.
July 15, 2025
Do not read this book. It was impossible to follow and way too many characters to keep track of.
August 1, 2025
I will add a half star to my rating for the delicious French food descriptions. Other than that, the book was good-but I believe the series is becoming formulaic and repetitive.
August 27, 2025
I used to really like this series.
August 21, 2025
I'm giving this book a low rating because it doesn't meet the quality of the earlier Bruno books; too much narrative, the plot was unfocused, it lacked the charm of the other novels. Perhaps the author should consider a new series with new characters.
August 17, 2025
This was a story about life in a small village in France. That wasn't what I was expecting nor what I wished to read. For me, this book was a disappointment. Maybe putting a mystery in the pages that went to cooking would have made the book better. Probably not.
August 8, 2025
I was disappointed with the last Bruno book but, based on the overall charm of this long running series, I grabbed "An Enemy in the Village" off the shelf with hopes of a comeback story. Sadly, the charm is gone from the Bruno series. In general, this installment felt stale and forced. Specifically, if I had drunk a cocktail for each pedantic diatribe about a controversial issue in the zeitgeist, I would surely have been in line for an intervention by the novel's end. Martin Walker's conclusion seems to leave room for further installments but I am confident that I will skipping them. Whatever the future of the Bruno series, it most definitely is not going out on top.
July 26, 2025
Disappointing - seems that Martin Walker is phoning these last ones in. There’s no investigation involved and the death is resolved very quickly in the last chapter with one surprise. Mostly the problem with this book is that there are so many new characters, an excessive amount of time spent on Bruno dining or cooking, and then there’s the whole repeat of the Pére Noel with the children. Bruno’s core group of friends barely make a showing except for Pamela and Hector, his horse. Isabelle has bowed out in a letter, and Bruno supposedly has found his future wife but at the very end we find out that her job is massively time-consuming. Up until then we had no sense how time-consuming her job was because she seemed to have plenty of time to meet with Bruno.
Separately, Mr. Walker covers a lot of themes. He touches on the upcoming Ukraine-Russia conflict, the competitive strife amongst the various French police forces, the political warfare between the extreme left and right in France, the rapid character assassination that can occur on social media…. Yes these are important topics but Walker usually intersperse these more organically in the main storyline involving some kind of investigation by Bruno. But this book had no real investigation as the death is quickly viewed as a suicide. Walker also seems to go a bit overboard on the tight-nit, tremendously accomplished career women who he contrast with Bruno’s simple agrarian life. But on the other hand, Walker uses Bruno to point out that many of the women have no children, curiously sounding like the current US vice president. Walker also seems to be criticizing the takeover of the Perigord by wealthy holidayers who can’t even think and expect their booking agents to plan every aspect of their trip, including paying their bills, making sure they have insurance on their vehicles…

Fitting that I finished this book on the last day of the 2025 TDF. At times it read like a cookbook as Saint Bruno orchestrated a myriad of projects that had nothing to do with policing. As for the title I'm not sure who the enemy in the village was. It starts with Bruno's discovery of a suicide in a car. It's obvious but it seems too obvious. Meanwhile a corrupt cop with an uncle who is a general in the gendarmes is arrested by Bruno. Lots of bureaucratic maneuvering, CYA, and retribution ensue. The suicide causes Bruno to consider his life and finding the right soulmate and start a family. People are talking about him becoming mayor or deputy mayor. So it will be interesting to see where the next book takes Bruno.
July 22, 2025
The book isn't bad - the writing continues to be quality. I'm just so tired of the ongoing political strife in the Perigord. There's no mystery in this one. I would really like to see Walker return to a more basic mystery story. I love a good who-dun-it.
The food, wine, and women continue to be present, but it's no longer keeping my interest.

Ja, ich weiß. Ich fand schon die letzten Bände nicht gut, warum also lese ich die Serie weiter? Ich bin eben eine treue Seele...
aber was war das denn? Ein "Fall", eine Story jedenfalls nicht.
Bruno findet also ein Auto mit einer toten Frau in einem Auto, daneben Abschiedsbriefe... alles deutet auf Selbstmord hin. Und die nächsten 260 Seiten wird daran auch kaum ein Zweifel geschürt...
Dafür wird Bruno plötzlich verbal (und später auch körperlich) angegriffen, wogegen er sich eloquent und mit vielen guten Fakten zur Wehr setzt. Wir erfahren also eine Menge über Politik, Polizeipolitik und Mauscheleien,. blablabla... dabei ist Bruno natürlich immer der Unfehlbare, der Ritter in schimmernder Rüstung, der dann auch noch ein neues Love-interest findet und in schmalzigster Manier anhimmelt.
Dass die Personen zusätzlich auch noch ununterbrochen kochen, essen in und sich dabei jeweils detailliert sowohl die Geschichte des Gerichts als auch die von jeder einzelnen Zutat gegenseitig beschreiben müssen, ist ja völlig natürlich...
Hach, und weil dann am Ende wohl der Gedanke kam: ipsi, ist ja eigentlich ein KRIMI, ich sollte mit meiner am Anfang gefundenen Leiche vielleicht was machen, gibt es dann nochmal eine "überraschende Wendung"...

Another great Bruno book from Martin Walker. Bruno drives to a remote overlook to enjoy the view and finds another car parked there with someone slumped over the steering wheel. The woman has been dead for several hours. There is an empty box of zolpidem on the floor and three sealed addressed envelopes on the passenger seat. The first is the Rebecca Weil, the second to Laura Segret and the third to her husband Dominic. Bruno finds out that the woman is Monique and she has just lost a baby and her doctor is Fabiola. She has been a concierge taking care of chateaus and renting them out when owners aren't there. The first letter was going to her lawyer who told Bruno that Monique wanted her company to go to the women who worked with her and not to her husband Dominic.
Meanwhile, Bruno starts hearing radio announcers denigrating him and claiming he was getting money he shouldn't have. Bruno discovers some police who aren't behaving as they should. When Bruno meets Laura, the woman to get the second letter from Monique, they immediately like each other, and she has a bassett hound. It turns out that the dogs also become friends. Bruno finds out that Monique's husband is not happy about not inheriting Monique's business even though he had signed a prenup saying he wouldn't get any of it. There are a lot of things happening in this book, but as in the past, when all is done the bad guys are punished and Bruno has won.
I thank Netgalley and Knopf for giving me an ARC so that I could read the book before publication. I can't wait for the next book!

It is nearly Christmas of 2021 in St.Denis when Bruno pulls up behind a car overlooking the Vézère River Valley. What he finds will take us on our next journey with Bruno.
In An Enemy in the Village, the 18th in Martin Walker's Bruno series, we take a closer look at the village politics, meet some amazing women while looking at women's rights and, find a crooked recruit at the gendarmerie and find Bruno under attack in a whispering campaign.
Of course there is Balzac, the basset hound who may have found a new lady love. We will also find plenty of food from duck confit, to marinated lamb shanks to omelets with freshly dug truffles.
This is not quite as action packed as some in the past, but I found it quite satisfying.

Least interesting of all the Bruno books.
I love the Bruno books and spend a month each year in the Dordogne, often visiting St Denis for the Tuesday market and lunch. This book however was weak, with little interesting in the plot. A new girlfriend for Bruno and one for his dog? A plot that was dull. I still love the cooking and the descriptions of St Denis and the region. Hopefully the next is more exciting.

I enjoyed this novel. I haven’t visited St Denis with Chief Bruno for a few years now! Loved being back: loved the Saturday markets, loved breakfast at the bakery, loved the dinners with the circle of friends and as always, really enjoy the descriptions of the food & wine!! And, the required mystery wasn’t bad either!! 😉

Attempted Feminist Woke
To be clear, I’ve read every Bruno in order and enjoyed them.
This time Walker seems to be polishing his feminist credentials and jumped the shark. So many errors in the attempt - should women who can’t have children be suicidal? Not the usual interesting mystery . Also, Bruno’s social schedule and leisure activities are so over the top that he can’t possibly have time for his policing duties. The author seems to be trying to prove that one’s lifestyle can be Martha Stewart deluxe while living in socialist poverty… proudly describing things like Bruno’s 50 year old vehicle - and even that was an inherited gift.
Give me a break!

I could read this series for the rest of my life. I love the town. I love the characters. I love the authors, voice and the way that the storyline is a blend of idyllic country village with wonderful food.
August 22, 2025
A good visit with Bruno and all his friends in St. Denis. I would not say that this is the best of the series, or the worst, just another update in the lives of these characters.
Bruno is really getting pounded in this book by the media, the Green party, some of the senior people in the government mostly for things he has done to protect the village. He is even getting beaten down by some in his community for trying to do the right thing. But at the end most everything turns our well.
I will say that the discussions throughout the book about his dog Balzac and another dog got a little tiresome after while. Oh well.

If you love reading about life and Bruno in St. Denis this is a great book.
Not so much a mystery or thriller.
Two story plots, a women commits suicide and a young grendarme is corrupt.
Bruno gets a lot of harrasment from groups trying to protect the grendarme.
Hints at the future? oblique references to Bruno being mayor some time.
Would be a good way to end the series.
New romantic interest for Bruno, so finally is this the one?
At the end though, obstacles to bliss are ruminated on.
