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

Mystery and romance served up with a hearty dose of French 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 Alexander, author of the Lady Emily mysteries

Longworth has a good eye and a sharp wit, and this introduction to Verlaque and Bonnet holds promise for a terrific series.   The Globe and Mail

Death at the Château Bremont offers charming French locales, vivid characters and an intriguing who-done-it.   Kevin R. Kosar, author of Whiskey: A Global History

Here s hoping the series lasts for years.   RT Book Reviews
