Synopsis

When Dr. Georges Moutte is found murdered, investigator Antoine Verlaque is stumped. Certainly the director of theology at the Université d'Aix had his enemies. Moutte was just about to name the recipient of an elite fellowship as well as his own successor—a highly coveted position—when his lips were sealed permanently. But Verlaque isn't convinced that anyone in the tiny community of academics is capable of murder.

Aided by his on-again, off-again girlfriend, law professor Marine Bonnet, Verlaque must turn Provence upside down, uncovering a world far more complicated than university politics, to find the killer before it's too late.

A must-listen mystery that transports you to the south of France with its lush portrait of a charming historic town, this continuation of the Provençal Mystery series captivates.

Goodreads review by Cameron on October 23, 2016

The Verlaque and Bonnet mystery novels are, now that I think about it, more about Provence and its culture, history and wines than it is about the mystery. This is clearly an author who loves that region, and wanted to write about it, and invented these characters so they could explore. Thats all very......more

Goodreads review by Senga on May 18, 2022

Wpadłam w tę serię po uszy. Jest cudownie odprężająca i tak ładnie napisana. Lubię czytać kryminały pisane literaturą. Autorce udało się stworzyć wyjątkowy klimat, to wszystko jest takie lekkie, niespieszne, smaczne i z dyskretnym humorem. Dla wielu osób pewno byłoby nudne i bez akcji, ale na mnie d......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on October 15, 2018

Once again, I was completely delighted by the characters and the setting without even really caring about the mystery. The mystery portion was fine. It tracked well and was believable enough. But I'm so charmed by the culture of this French town and the characters who populate it, that I wouldn't ca......more
