the shady chateau (Provence cozy mysteries #4)
|
|
Beware, dressing up as Napoleon can get you killed!
Provence baker Julie Cavallo and her grandma sign up for a Napoleonic re-enactment at a nearby chateau. The event includes theatricals, war games, and costume balls — all courtesy of the host and pillar of the local community, Baron Gustave Cordes d’Auzon. What a welcome break from baking and catering... and from pining for a tall, dark, and unsociable captain of the gendarmerie. Unlike the captain, the weekend guests at the castle love conversing. Some are so flamboyant they outshine even Julie’s badass grandma Rose! It’s all fun and cosplay… until the lord of the castle turns up dead. Three unlikely culprits plead guilty. Each gives the gendarmes a different motive. Each insists they did it alone. Who’s lying? And why? And who really killed the baron? |
the sinister superyacht (PROVENCE COZY MYSTERIES #3)
|
|
French tycoon Jean-Louis Ponsard is having a bad year.
Unwise investments, canceled orders, deals falling through… In the thick of it, his yacht becomes the scene of a suspicious death, and his year of misfortune hits the bed of the Mediterranean Sea. To make matters worse, the victim isn't just anybody. She's his much-hated mother-in-law. Onboard, caterer Julie Cavallo and her quirky grandma Rose do some poking around. But every luxury cabin hides a secret. Every passenger has an alibi or no reason to want the victim dead. Discretion rules. The crew keeps mum. So do the marble countertops, gem-incrusted walls, and gold sinks. When the cops take charge, things go to pieces, and not only for the Ponsard family. Can Julie dive to the murky bottom of the sea, unravel the case, and come back up still breathing? |
novella: the mayor who canceled christmas
|
Provençal mayor Victor Jacquet receives a mystifying note.
Then his small town mounts a rebellion. And then his entire world implodes. Some holiday season! Fortunately for Victor, he never believed in the magic of Christmas. Unfortunately for Victor, said magic still believes in him… Told from Victor’s point of view, this novella stands alone within the Julie Cavallo Investigates Series. Treat yourself to the quirky town of Beldoc, the mayor’s antics, and a gripping mystery! |
