THE COLDEST CASE Bruno, Chief of Police, Book 14

In the Périgord region of France, Bruno, chief of police, uses his investigative skills to solve a murder that took place 30 years earlier during the Cold War era. Narrator Robert Ian Mackenzie does a wonderful job bringing Bruno and his friends to life. He shines at injecting warmth and humanity into his portrayal of Bruno, who is believable and likable. Using authentic-sounding pronunciations of French names, he is particularly strong during the descriptions of Bruno's meal preparations. The plot smoothly moves forward with Mackenzie's well-paced narration, ensuring that the evocative passages keep the listener engaged. The result is an enjoyable and often mouthwatering listen.
