Book Overview
Translated by Adriana Hunter When you moved to France to a picturesque hamlet in the Dordogne no one said it would be like this in February: freezing cold, dark by mid-afternoon and so quiet. Members of the Caminade family keep dying in suspicious circumstances, and the doctor knows more about it than he's prepared to reveal.... Slyly funny and delightfully laconic, Death in the Dordogne is the perfect accompaniment for anyone thinking about a holiday in France! An editor at a publishing house, Louis Sanders now lives in rural France in the Dordogne with his English wife.

Witty, original novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I purchased all three novels of Mr. Sanders few years ago. At last I read the first one, "Death in the Dordogne". It was a very nice surprise. Short, both suspensfull and witty, original novel. There are no bags of old tricks in this book. The puzzle is convoluted, the characters and atmosphere sharply drawn. I have no intention of visiting Dordogne in February. The leading character, the sleuth, is a total unknown to us. We know that he is an Englishman, an amateur painter and that sums it all up. Everything else is left to our imagination. Buying unknown authors sometimes pays off. If you want something different than the average mystery, Mr. Sanders is your man.
