The Secrets of the Bastide Blanche (A Provençal Mystery)

â€œBeguiling . . . Longworth evokes the pleasures of France in delicious detailâ€”great wine, delicious meals, and fine company.â€Â â€”Publishers Weekly

When a scandalous author moves to the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence, Verlaque and Bonnet are called in to investigate whether heâ€™s haunted by more than just his past, in this delightful new mystery from M. L. Longworth
Â
One hot summer night, Aix-en-Provence is aflutter with news that controversial author ValÃ¨re Barbier, who once shared dinners with French presidents and all-night drinking bouts with rock stars, has moved into La Bastide Blanche, a grand house left empty for decades. But ValÃ¨reâ€™s ideas of a peaceful retirement are quickly dashed. Rambunctious neighborhood children, a fast-talking gossip of a housekeeper, and a rival novelist filter through the home at all hours of the dayâ€”and by night there are unseen visitors with more sinister intentions.

While Antoine Verlaque investigates ValÃ¨reâ€™s sordid history, his wife and partner, Marine Bonnet, questions why the estate was abandoned in the first placeâ€”and what they both find raises more questions than answers. Is ValÃ¨re imagining the ethereal cries that fill the bastide at night? Is he losing his mind? Or have these ghosts returned from ValÃ¨reâ€™s checkered past to haunt him?
