About this listen
Bruno, Chief of Police, investigates when a body is found floating in the river showing marks of Satanism. France's favourite cop must track down a murderer while quelling his town's superstitious fears in this mystery, part of an internationally best-selling series.
It is springtime France's Périgord, a time of beauty and calm. But not for Bruno, chief of police of the small town of St Denis. A woman's body has been found on a boat, bearing signs of a black magic ritual.
Bruno has too much on his plate as it is - mediating a domestic abuse case that needs careful handling and a dodgy local development proposal that seems just too good to be true.
But a murder case must take precedent and the roots of this one lie buried deep in the past - linked to a chateau above a bend in the river, to the reclusive old woman who lives there and to the secret hidden in the Devil's Cave.

Excellent story
Another action packed story about Bruno & St Dennis. So much detail, you feel that you are in the French village.

Another good Bruno story but poor narration
The story is good and keeps the Bruno story going but it is let down by the narration

Another good Bruno book.
I am so enjoying this series. Well worth time. My husband and I are listening to this as our bedtime book but unfortunately it is so good it is a book that keeps us awake so we are listening far into the night rather than send us asleep!!

Better than expected
Not nearly as twee as I feared it would be. Decent plot and characters but fairly easy going.

Inspector Bruno my hero.
Most memorable moment when Bruno was dodging bullets in a dark cave. Magnificent
performance as usual for an ex soldier.

Better narration
Fun plot, great setting and endearing characters. At last a narrator whose nearer the age of Bruno. Thank you.

An intriguing mystery.
"The Devil's Cave" is another brilliant mystery in which the relationships and stories of the people of St. Denis deepen and develop. I discovered this series accidentally, but now I am addicted! Can't wait to see what the next St. Denis mystery brings!

Good story, tense and complex
Don't like the narrator, who uses comic French accents for many characters, usually those from less affluent society, but Bruno escapes this Clouseau treatment. It would be better to choose an appropriate UK accent, which wouldn't seem so patronising. Bill Wallis did a good job, as always, but he's no longer available, and much missed.
Saint Denis is again the window dressing for vice and evil; the arcane organisation of French law enforcement and policing cause the usual problems, and as the title implies, there's a mix of sacrilege and blasphemy. (I do question the liturgy of the exorcism Mass - in Holy Week, to complicate proper form even more - but I've never been to an exorcism, just lots of Masses.)
Still, I enjoyed it, and can accept, if not appreciate, the performer.
