Death at the Chateau Bremont by M.L. Longworth

4.0

A very interesting read. The main characters are a little different - Marine Bonnet is a law professor in Aix and Antoine Verlacque is a judge. They have a history, but have split up. Etienne Bremont is discovered dead at the chateau owned by his family. He seems to have fallen out of a loft and broken his neck. Marine grew up with the brothers Etienne and Francois at the chateau. Verlaque turns to her for information about the brothers. Most people assume Etienne accidentally fell out of the window but Verlaque has a suspicion that this is not so, that he was pushed. Then, the day of Etienne's funeral, Francois is discovered floating in a fountain at the chateau.
The book is set in France and provides an interesting look at the setup of the French legal system. Of course, the intricacies of the system are not discussed, but a broad overview is provided.

I will read more of the series.
