April 2015 Book Selection

Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday April 7, 2015 at 7:00 PM in the second floor meeting room as we will be discussing, Bruno, Chief of Police, by Martin Walker. This is the first book in a series based in a small village in France featuring, Benoit "Bruno" Courreges, the chief of police.
The summary from the Ocean State Libraries' Ezone is: "Meet Benoit Courreges, aka Bruno, a policeman in a small village in the South of France. He's a former soldier who has embraced the pleasures and slow rhythms of country life. He has a gun but never wears it; he has the power to arrest but never uses it. But then the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army changes all that. Now Bruno must balance his beloved routines--living in his restored shepherd's cottage, shopping at the local market, drinking wine, strolling the countryside--with a politically delicate investigation. He's paired with a young policewoman from Paris and the two suspect anti-immigrant militants. As they learn more about the dead man's past, Bruno's suspicions turn toward a more complex motive"
