Death at the Chateau Bremont by M.L. Longworth

5.0

Roughly 50% of this book is devoted to an actual mystery, while the other half revolves around life in Aix-en-Provence in southern France. I'm usually annoyed by extraneous information that has no relevance to the central plot, but in this case, I found it charming. I was just as compelled by the routines and relationships of Verlaque and Bonnet as I was by the mystery, which involves the murder of two brothers and an old family home in the countryside. Longworth has a knack for creating quirky, three-dimensional characters who are both deeply flawed and deeply likable, and I'm excited to read the others in this series.
