GIVEAWAY: 3 copies of To Kill a Troubadour – THE DORDOGNE

26th June 2022

We are delighted to offer 3 copies of To Kill a Troubadour by Martin Walker, no15 in the DORDOGNE crime mystery series.

UK only.

3 copies of To Kill a Troubadour

It is summer in St Denis, and Bruno is busy organising the annual village concert. He’s hired a local Périgord folk group, Les Troubadours, to perform their latest hit ‘A Song for Catalonia’. But when the song unexpectedly goes viral, the Spanish government, clamping down on the Catalonian bid for independence, bans Les Troubadours from performing it.

The timing couldn’t be worse, and Bruno finds himself under yet more pressure when a specialist sniper’s bullet is found in a wrecked car near Bergerac. The car was reportedly stolen on the Spanish frontier and the Spanish government sends warning that a group of nationalist extremists may be planning an assassination in France. Bruno immediately suspects that Les Troubadours and their audience might be in danger.

Bruno must organise security and ensure that his beloved town and its people are safe – the stakes are high for France’s favourite policeman.

    Paris for me (although I’ve not been to a lot of places in France) but it has the FIA headquarters and I had my photo taken outside so I was happy

    Southern Brittany, especially the area around Bénodet holds a special place in our hearts. We have spent around 3o summer holidays there with our touring caravan. We were able to pitch up then get everywhere we wanted on foot or bike. A beach, marina and salt marsh all within a few minutes walk of the site. Beautiful weather but never unbearably hot like we experienced in other regions further south. Sadly, now in our 70s we feel we are too old to make the long journey so stay much closer to home.

    For me it has to be the idyllic island of Corsica. Steeped in history and beaches and scenery so breathtaking. A beautiful memory for me is back in 2010 when my husband proposed that we renew our wedding vows on an isolated beach as the sun was going down. We have just celebrated our 25th wedding Anniversary April this year 🙂 X

    I know lots of people will say Paris, I’m not one of them. One of the very few places I got myself totally lost.

    Personally I would pick Lille followed by Le Touquet.

    I must admit that my French travels have only ever taken me as far as Paris, which I would love to have spent longer exploring.

    If I was lucky enough to win this book, I would definitely need to read book #1 first, so that I could get a handle on the characters and the author style of writing.

    In fact the series sounds so good, that I might just do that anyway!

    A small town called Ferney Voltaire near the Swiss border, mainly because my daughter and my gorgeous grandchildren live in a little village close to it. Also for the amazing market, and the views, especially from Voltaire’s chateau, of the Alps in one direction and the Jura in the other. And finally because it has a hot pizza vending machine and that’s a very cool thing to have.
