A mystery/detective novel. Well-written, evocative of place (Dordogne region, small village) with a nicely maintained building tension. This part I really enjoyed, like a Louise Penny on steroids. But the end of the book is very American - irresistible sexual attraction between two main gun-toting characters, bit shoot out with a paramilitary flair. Reads well at the time, but after the tension wears off, it seems a bit stereotyped in structure.
Will try a couple more before finally deciding.
