This library book will be finished before the New Year. So #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew or #OutWithTheOld

Had to pick up holds at the library, so of course I raided the “new” section. #libraryholds #libraryfinds. I am excited- did not know there was a new Bruno, Chief of Police, novel published in 2024.

Horribly behind with my reviews, so here I go. I read this in my holidays. It was a nice and fast read, though not my favourite in this series. The storyline seemed a bit easy.

Late summer holidays.

Should I spend my summer in Cornwall, Copenhagen, California, or the French Countryside? I am feeling excited about #14books14weeks2023 and getting some traction on #serieslove23 at the same time. It‘s going to be a good good Summer!

I get that after 13 books you have to try something new in a series. So this book was ok because I know and like the characters and this got me over the fact that actually… nothing happened.

I bought this in 2013 in an occult science phase, started it in Dec. and finished last night. Pages of Hermetic magic, Latin untranslated, and the odd life of G Bruno and his spiritual infinite universe and mind, with memory, containing all things. He was burned in Rome in 1600.

The link between the drives of the metaphysical perspectives of religion, magic, and science may be a kind of enlightenment moment. Bruno might make a nice center point.

Music in all its forms permeates this book.Bruno has organized a music festival & hopes to revitalize the career of an aging rock star. In the midst of this preparation, a Russian oligarch & his multinational conglomerate infiltrates the area under different guises. A sudden death might possibly be linked to the Russians.Of course there is Bergerac wine paired with mouth watering Perigord farm fresh meals enchanting me as I read.
