Summary: Set in Aix-en-Provence, France, newlyweds Verlaque and Bonnet are drawn into investigating when a new restaurant in the neighborhood tries to expand and runs into a historical mystery.
First Sentence:
Antoine Verlaque liked die Corallini so much he almost regretted that his wedding was going to be so small.
Discussion:
M. L. Longworth continues on with a discussion of the history and architecture of the church.
I picked this up as an impulse at the library. It is part of a series. The French setting was what drew me to it, and it seems like that is going to be a big part of the book.
