The first entry in a clever, lighthearted mystery series set in modern Provencea delightful blend of Agatha Christie and Peter Maylefeaturing the irrepressible Penelope Kite, a young-at-heart divorcee with a knack for stumbling across dead bodies.Its love at first sight when Penelope Kite sees Le Chant dEauThe Song of Waterthe stone farmhouse tucked high in the hills above the Luberon valley, complete with a garden, swimming pool, and sweeping mountain vistas. For years, Penelope put her unfaithful ex-husband and her ungrateful stepchildren first. Since taking early retirement from her job in forensics at the Home Office in England, shes been an unpaid babysitter and chauffeur for her grandchildren. Now, shes going to start living for herself. Though her dream house needs major renovations, Penelope impulsively buys the property and moves to St. Merlot. But Penelopes daydreams of an adventurous life in Provence didnt include finding a corpse floating face down in her swimming pool. The discovery of the dead man plunges her headlong into a Provenal stew of intrigue and lingering resentments simmering beneath the deceptively sunny village. Having worked in the forensics office, Penelope knows a thing or two about murder investigations. To find answers, she must carefully navigate between her seemingly ubiquitous, supercilious (and enviably chic) estate agent, the disdainful chief of police, and the devilishly handsome mayoreven as she finds herself tempted by all the delicacies the region has to offer. Thank goodness her old friend Frankie is just a flight away . . . and that Penelope is not quite as nave as her new neighbors in St. Merlot believe.Set against the exquisite backdrop of Provence, steeped in history, atmosphere, and secrets, Death in Provence introduces an irresistible heroine and a delightful new mystery series.
