Food, Wine, and Murder in Death at the Château Bremont
The Château Bremont, once the busy country estate of a local noble family, has been reduced to the occasional visit, but the estate’s calm is shattered one night when the nobleman Étienne falls to his death. Chief magistrate Antoine Verlaque is suspicious that Étienne’s death was murder, but finding the proof is difficult until he discovers an unlikely source of information: his former girlfriend Marine.Antoine has been thinking of Marine lately but asking for her help might be troublesome because of their break-up. Despite their own unresolved issues he asks Marine for her help, and together they try to piece together Étienne’s secrets and complicated life. When there is another murder, the investigation intensifies while Antoine and Marine navigate their own broken relationship.
Death at the Château Bremont by M.L. Longworth is the first book in the Verlaque & Bonnet Mystery Series that takes place in Aix-en-Provence where the location is as much a part of the story as the murders.
