A Murder In Springtime

A Murder in Springtime by Martin Walker returns readers to St Denis for another richly atmospheric cosy mystery, where France’s favourite country cop, Bruno Courrèges, is drawn into a shocking death that rattles the town’s calm.

When Bruno’s friend Pamela reports the brutal murder of her new lodger, Josette Quirit, he’s forced to step back from the official investigation because of his personal connection. With a young detective taking his place, Bruno turns his energy to a different local crisis: the struggling St Denis market, long the community’s beating heart, now mysteriously losing its spark.

But secrets have a way of resurfacing in the Dordogne. As questions mount around who Josette really was, Bruno finds himself pulled back towards the case—and the unsettling truths beneath village life.

Perfect for fans of French village settings, character-led crime fiction, and food-and-wine comfort reads with real bite.
