| Summary |
"It's love at first sight when Penelope Kite sees Le Chant d'Eau--The Song of Water--the stone farmhouse tucked high in the hills above the Luberon valley, complete with a garden, swimming pool, and sweeping mountain vistas. But Penelope's daydreams of an adventurous life in Provence didn't include finding a corpse floating facedown in her swiming pool. The discovery of the dead man plunges her headlong into a Provenc̜al stew of intrigue and lingering resentments simmering beneath the surface of the deceptively sunny village. To find answers, Penelope must carefully navigate between her seemingly ubiquitous, supercilious (and enviably chic) estate agent, the disdainful chief of police, and the devilishly handsome mayor--even 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 naïve as her new neighbors in St. Merlot believe."-- Provided by publisher. |
