About this ebook
An Englishwoman in the South of France navigates new love, nosey neighbors, and coldblooded murder in this delightfully breezy mystery.
After a tumultuous summer, Penelope Kite has settled into the rhythm of her new life in Provence. Lavender-scented evenings, long lunches with new friends—and a budding romance with the gorgeous mayor of St Merlot. But beneath the veneer of glamour, scandal is brewing. Shockwaves ripple through the Avignon art world when a controversial painter, Roland Doncaster, chokes on an almond-stuffed olive.
A tragic accident? Or a ruthless poisoning? Embroiled once more in a murder investigation, Penelope discovers an impressive gallery of jealous lovers and scheming rivals who could have done the deed. And with dashing art dealers to charm, patisseries to resist, and her own friends under suspicion, Penelope will need all her sleuthing talents to unveil the truth . . .
