The Body In The Castle Well by Martin Walker

I enjoy this author's very cozy mysteries. Bruno is a wonderful character, caring, compassionate, intelligent, and delightfully diverse in his interests. The location and its unique culture are entertainingly described, becoming a major element of the story. The plot introduces the mystery but then expands into a narrative that provides a more substantial issue to consider as the story progresses. I am a vegetarian but the descriptions of meals full of meat-heavy ingredients are still mouth-watering. A young woman, a promising Ph.D. candidate is found drowned in a well. Is it an accident, a suicide, or a murder?
