Suggestion for editors: If a book is based in France, find an audiobook reader who is at least slightly acquainted with the language. Given that the plot revolves around a French university theology department, Longworth could have consulted at least one genuine syllabus to work out the subjects covered and who might be teaching or studying them. What really makes Longworth’s writing special is her deep knowledge of French history, landscape, cuisine, and even contemporary cafes and restaurants.

Het verhaal begint heel “Cosy”, zoals ik al aangaf, maar als de professor dood wordt aangetroffen in zijn kantoor, neemt de spanning direct toe. Death at the Château Bremont offers charming French locales, vivid characters and an intriguing who-done-it. Persoonlijk zal ik een vervolg niet oppakken, echter denk ik wel dat er genoeg mensen zijn die hiervan zullen smullen, vooral als je een beetje bekend bent met de Franse taal.French-set mysteries have never been more popular [and] among the very best is a series set in Provence featuring Monsieur Verlaque, an examining magistrate, and his sometime girlfriend, law professor Marine Bonnet. Fans of European sleuths with a taste for good food such as Martin Walker’s Bruno (Bruno, Chief of Police) will have fun. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Doordat Longworth bijvoorbeeld de omgeving best uitgebreid omschrijft, worden er ook vaker Franse woorden gebruikt en hier had ik, net als bij het eerste deel, vaker moeite mee en vroeg ik mij ook geregeld af wat ze nu bedoelde.

Death at the Château Bremont is replete with romance, mystery, and a rich atmosphere that makes the south of France spring off the page in a manner reminiscent of Donna Leon's Venice. He is well educated and highly civilised, but rather difficult in his personal relationship with the beautiful Marine. And Murder on the Rue Dumas was right up my alley--an interesting-sounding academic mystery, this time set in France. The new novel opens in the place des Quatre Dauphins with a party in the apartment of the director of the theology department in the university. This mystery will be a breath of fresh burgundy for those who miss the old days and the classic detectives.Longworth evokes the pleasures of France in delicious detail--great wine, delicious meals, and fine company. The Church can also provide direct funding, funnel students , and offer opportunities for placements and other benefits.
