Death at the Chateau Bremont by M.L. Longworth

2.0

Chief magistrate of Aix-en-Provence Antoine Verlaque delves into a suspicious death with the assistance of his ex-lover and law professor Marine Bonnet. The plot focused more on the culinary and wine offerings of the region and the relationship of the two main characters than it did on the mystery. Unfortunately, neither of the two main characters was particularly likable. Antoine possessed some sort of magical charm over the female of the species that wasn't made obvious to me and Martine acted like an overly emotional teen where he was concerned. When the first victim's brother is murdered, a little more attention is paid to crime solving, but it's largely propelled by different suspects offering completely unsolicited confessions. This is the first in a series, but the last for me.
