Description

'A gorgeous mystery read to escape with this summer' - EJ, Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars

When Penelope Kite swaps her humdrum life in Surrey for a picturesque farmhouse in the south of France, she imagines a simple life of long lunches and chilled rosé . . . What she doesn't imagine is the dead body floating in her swimming pool.

Convinced that the victim suffered more than a drunken accident, Penelope plunges headlong into local intrigue and long-simmering resentments to uncover the truth.

But with a meddling estate agent, an unfriendly Chief of Police, a suspiciously charming Mayor, and the endless temptation of that second pain au chocolat, life in the delightful village of St Merlot is certainly never simple. . .

Curl up and escape to the sunshine of Provence with this deliciously entertaining mystery!

Ah it’s been a while since I was last in the Luberon valley but this brought it all home to me and more. A gorgeous evocative and sumptuous visit to the valley with echoes of the lazy French way of life and the scent of the flowers in the fields, the food...oh the food...
But I digress, as this is more than just an evocative novel, it’s a nice murder mystery in paradise read with a nice central character in the form of Penelope.
It’s an easy read but one which evokes the setting and the murder within very well. Moving into a new property which needs work can’t be easy, and then to find a dead body there! Plenty of scope for a fun French set read. It was interesting to see the French police investigation.


Small town French set crime - a nice escape this summer!
