Smart, sassy and decidedly not French Maggie Newberry and her hunky French chef husband are solving mysteries en Provence and eating very well along the way. No French necessary to enjoy every page of this deliciously exciting murder mystery.

The food! The scenery! The murder! Maggie temporarily agrees to move to France with Laurent who has just inherited a vineyard. While the two move into an ancient stone farmhouse to ready it and the surrounding land to be sold, it does appear to Maggie that Laurent is settling in rather too comfortably for her taste. In the meantime, Maggie combats expatriate boredom by trying to solve her village's oldest mystery–and it's newest murder–both at the same time. Along the way she meets two new sets of friends–both American –and both destined to change her life forever.
