"Longworth's gentle procedural succeeds on several levels, whether it's for academic and literary allusions, police work, or armchair travel. With deftly shifting points of view, Longworth creates a beguiling read that will appeal to Louise Penny and Donna Leon fans." - "Library Journal"

Bon appEtit." - "Booklist

"A promising debut for Longworth, who shows there's more to France than Paris and more to mystery than Maigret." - "Kirkus"
.

.
""Death at Chateau 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

.
"Your readers will eat this one up." - "Library Journal"
What really makes Longforth s writing special is her deep knowledge of French history, landscape, cuisine, and even contemporary cafes and restaurants. This is that rare atmospheric mystery that is street-wise and cafe-canny. "Booklist" (starred review)
As intricate as the mystery is, what provides the most pleasure in reading "Murder in the Rue Dumas" is Longworth s description of Verlaque and Bonet s daily lives one can practically smell the freshly-baked croissants. "Seattle Post-Intelligencer "
Fans of European sleuths with a taste for good food will have fun. "PW"
