A Noel Killing by M L Longworth
Antoine Verlaque, examining magistrate for the beautiful town of Aix-en-Provence, doesn't like Christmas. But his wife and partner Marine Bonnet is determined to make this a Christmas they can enjoy. Just as the holiday cheer is in full swing, a man is poisoned, sending the community into a tailspin. The list of suspects almost fills the town's huge church, from the visiting vendors at the Christmas fair to the victim's unhappy wife and disgruntled business partner. Now the pair must solve the murder while the spirit of the season attempts to warm Verlaque's stubborn heart.
M.L. Longworth has lived in Aix-en-Provence since 1997. She has written about the region for The Washington Post, The Times (U.K.), The Independent (U.K.), and Bon Appetit Magazine. She is the author the Verlaque and Bonnet series, as well as of a bilingual collection of essays, Une Americaine en Provence. She divides her time between Aix and Paris, where she teaches writing at NYU's Paris campus.
