Death at the Chateau Bremont by M. L. Longworth. An Antoine Verlaque and Marine Bonnet Mystery. Penguin Trade Paperback, June 2011.
The murder mystery in this first of a series is a little thinly plotted — the whodunit and whydunit are fairly obvious early on — but the characters and most especially the setting are interesting, well-developed, and help keep the reader engaged.

ReplyDeleteI think M. L. Longworth's comments about character and setting mirror what I thought were the best aspects of the book. Must also add that my Mother, who just finished the book today, thought it was absolutely wonderful, first page to last, reading it in (almost) one sitting.
