A penniless nobleman falls to his death from the attic window of his family’s crumbling chateau just outside Aix-en-Provence. Judge Antoine Verlaque’s instincts tell him that it was murder, but he has no evidence to back it up. Enter law professor Marine Bonnet who was a childhood friend of the victim and therefore could be a help in the case. She also happens to be Verlaque’s ex-girlfriend, and the sparks are still flying between them.

This was such a fun mystery to read, the only problem is that the author writes so wonderfully about Aix-en-Provence that I now have a terrible longing to travel, eat amazing food, and drink good wine. This looks to be the beginning of a charming mystery series with the continuation of both Marine Bonnet and Antoine Bonnet. I really enjoyed this book. ~Mara
