Winery owner Olivier Bonnard is devastated when he discovers that a priceless cache of rare vintages has veen stolen from his private cellar. Soon after, Monsieur Gilles dâ€™Arras arrives at Aix-en-Provenceâ€™s Palais de Justice to report another mysterious disappearance: his wife, Pauline, has vanished from their lavish apartment. Madame has always been as tough as nails, but in recent weeks sheâ€™s been wandering around town in her slippers, crying for no reason.

As the mistral arrives to temper the regionâ€™s late-summer heat, Commissioner Paulik receives an urgent call from Bonnard: heâ€™s just found Pauline dâ€™Arrasâ€”dead in his vineyard. Verlaque and Bonnet are once again investigating, in what will prove to be their most complicated case yet.

In her riveting follow-up toÂ Death at the Chateau BremontÂ andÂ Murder in the Rue Dumas, M. L. Longworth masterfully evokes the sights, sounds, and tastes of late-summer Provence, where the mistral blows and death springs up in the most unexpected places.

â€œJudge Antoine Verlaque, the sleuth in this civilized series, discharges his professional duties with discretion. But weâ€™re here to taste the wines. So many bottles, so many lovely views. A reader might be forgiven for feeling woozy.â€Â â€”The New York Times Book Review
