Complicating the investigation is the return of Sami, a young man from St. Denis who had become entangled with Islamic extremists and is thought to have ties with known terrorist groups. Is Sami just an unwitting pawn that was exploited because of his uncanny talent with electronics or is there something more going on....Where to start with this one? Let's start with the good stuff first. I found the central plot very compelling. Sami is an autistic young man who spent a good chunk of his childhood in St. Denis. Bruno feels that he knows Sami, and yet do we ever really know what another human being is capable of? I like the way the author explored that issue. There's also a storyline involving a bequest made to St. Denis by wealthy siblings who escaped capture by the Nazis when they were sheltered by a local farmer and his wife. This was a touching story based on real-life events and I found it very moving.This book had more of a Spy/Action Thriller feel than the previous books in the series and I'm not sure that I'm 100% on board for that. I like the "Bruno" series because of the underlying themes of community and loyalty; I like the portrayal of Bruno as a small town policeman with an innate sense of justice whose approach to law enforcement is colored by common sense, decency and respect for the people of his community. In this book we see Bruno as something of a superhero, a Ramboesque action figure if you will. I wasn't thrilled with that, and frankly the ending of this story devolved into a kind of B-Movie action sequence that had me rolling my eyes.I'm a little torn on this one. The story was compelling and well written, but I missed the down-to-earth Bruno from the previous novels. Part of the appeal of this series for me is the charming portrayal of small town life, and that was mostly missing from this novel. Then again, I did find this to be a page-turner, so it would be unfair to say the book was just "OK" simply because it departed from the formula a bit. Hmmm....it's precarious sitting up here on this fence! I'll call this a 3.5 rounded up to 4 for Amazon.Occasional strong language, some descriptive violence, no explicit sexual content. This is book 7 in a series and I'd strongly recommend that you start with book one, Bruno, Chief of Police: A Novel of the French Countryside  . --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/30473755-the-children-return-a-mystery-of-the-french-countryside-bruno](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/30473755-the-children-return-a-mystery-of-the-french-countryside-bruno) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
