FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is the reading order of the Julie Cavallo Investigates series?
Each Julie Cavallo mystery can be enjoyed as a standalone cozy mystery set in Provence, Paris, or elsewhere in France. However, reading the books in order offers the richest and most satisfying experience, since Julie’s personal life, relationships, and the town of Beldoc evolve from one mystery to the next.
Here is the chronological reading order of the books already published or on preorder:
2. Is Beldoc a real place?
No, Beldoc is a fictional town. However, it is inspired by several small towns and villages in Provence that I love. Think sun-warmed stone façades, bustling weekly markets, lavender fields, and neighbors who know far too much about each other.
In the books, Beldoc is located on the Rhône River, about half an hour from Arles in southern France. If you have ever traveled through Provence, you may recognize a street, a square, or a bakery or two.

Ana T. Drew is the evil mastermind behind the recent series of murders in the fictional French town of Beldoc. When she is not writing cozy mysteries or doing mom-and-wife things, she can be found watching “The Rookie” to help her get over “Castle”.
She lives in Paris, but her heart is in Provence. |
