Some believers observe Christmas in January.
Some cops work homicide at that time...
Provence baker Julie is headed to a charming Riviera village to meet the family of her gendarme boyfriend.
Gabriel's folks can't wait to get to know her.
Trouble is, he hasn't told them she's an amateur sleuth.
Nor has he warned Julie just how odd and rowdy they are, or that she'll have to face them alone while he's called out on a murder investigation.
Needless to say, she gets sucked into Gabriel's family feud—and his case!
The latter suddenly explodes into a hot emergency.
A race against the clock is on.
Lives are hanging in the balance...

With a killer on the loose and Gabriel's relatives on fire, can the duo keep it together to solve the mystery?
"An (un)Orthodox Christmas" is a fun whodunnit set in the deceptively peaceful French Riviera village of Cassis. This new mystery stands on its own within the Julie Cavallo Provence Mystery series.
