The first book in this series injected elements of France's dark colonialist past into the picturesque French countryside village of St. Denis, introducing the reader to the heroic chief of police.

This third mixes the ghosts of colonialism with local foodstuffs (this time truffles) and another dose of the Green Party.

The basic plot is acceptable, but there are numerous diversions into truffle hunting and culinary delights which may appeal or not.
Book #3 in the series. Interesting use of truffles in a mystery. Story, once again, a bit implausible.
