Death in the Vines (A Provençal Mystery Book 3)

When theft escalates to murder at a French vineyard, a crime wave sweeps over the tranquil town of Aix-en-Provence

The newest bookÂ in the ProvenÃ§al Mystery series,Â The Secrets of the Bastide Blanche, is available now from Penguin Books

Winery owner Olivier Bonnard is devastated when he discovers that a priceless cache of rare vintages has been 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.

Fans of Donna Leon and Andrea Camilleri, Francophiles, and foodies alike will adore this captivating whodunit. 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
