Praise for M. L. Longworth’s Provençal Mystery series
“The Verlaque and Bonnet mysteries . . . plunge you into a languid
world of epicurean pleasures and good living.” —Eleanor Beardsley,
NPR
“Beguiling . . . Longworth evokes the pleasures of France in
delicious detail—great wine, delicious meals, and fine
company.” —Publishers Weekly
“Longworth’s novels . . . are mysteries for foodies, with the plot
providing a table upon which the enchanting meals and accompanying
wines are served.” —Booklist
Praise for Death at the Chateau Bremont
“This first novel in a projected series has charm, wit, and
Aix-en-Provence all going for it. Longworth’s voice is like a rich
vintage of sparkling Dorothy Sayers and grounded Donna
Leon . . . Longworth has lived in Aix since 1997,
and her knowledge of the region is apparent on every page. Bon
appétit.” —Booklist
“A promising debut for Longworth, who shows there’s more to France
than Paris and more to mystery than Maigret.” —Kirkus
Reviews

cuisine. I relished every word. Longworth does for Aix-en-Provence
what Frances Mayes does for Tuscany: You want to be
there—NOW!” —Barbara Fairchild, former editor in chief, Bon
Appétit
“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. A wonderful
start to a series sure to gain a legion of fans.” —Tasha

Verlaque and Bonnet holds promise for a terrific series.” —The
