Review summary: This is a delightful academic-themed, village-style mystery, with characters that are interesting in and of themselves … but also, and maybe more so, from an interpersonal perspective. Steady but sure, this is a winning crime novel. (Click here for text of full review.)
Our rating:
Murder in the Rue Dumas
M. L. Longworth
An Antoine Verlaque and Marine Bonnet Mystery
Penguin (September 2012)
Publisher synopsis: Antoine Verlaque is stumped. The director of theology at the Université d'Aix was just about to name the recipient of an elite fellowship, as well as his own successor, when his lips were sealed permanently. Yet Verlaque isn't convinced that any of the academics are capable of murder. Aided by Bonnet, Verlaque turns Provence upside down, uncovering a world far more complicated than university politics.
