We hope you will join our last meeting of the Newcomers year as we discuss our mystery selection - Bruno, Chief of Police: A Novel of the French Countryside by Martin Walker. Come enjoy lively conversation and discussion with your book club friends at the Faler home. Please RSVP on the Newcomers website by Thursday, June 14th.
Amazon.com Book Description:
Meet Benoît Courrèges, aka Bruno, a policeman in a small village in the South of France. He’s a former soldier who has embraced the pleasures and slow rhythms of country life. He has a gun but never wears it; he has the power to arrest but never uses it. But then the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army changes all that. Now Bruno must balance his beloved routinesundefinedliving in his restored shepherd’s cottage, shopping at the local market, drinking wine, strolling the countrysideundefinedwith a politically delicate investigation. He’s paired with a young policewoman from Paris and the two suspect anti-immigrant militants. As they learn more about the dead man’s past, Bruno’s suspicions turn toward a more complex motive.
Copies of our monthly selection will be on hold at the Ridgefield Library by mid-May. Please ask at the main circulation desk for a copy to borrow.
We are also looking for our fellow readers to take over the chair positions for next year. If you are interested in chairing Evening Book Club next year, please let us know.
