"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)

"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"
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 appetit." - "Booklist
.
""A promising debut for Longworth, who shows there's more to France than Paris and more to mystery than Maigret." - "Kirkus" ."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!" - Babara Fairchild, former editor-in-chief, "Bon Appetit" magazine .""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 ."Longworth has a good eye and a sharp wit, and this introduction to Verlaque and Bonnet holds promise for a terrific series." - "Globe and Mail" .""Death at Chateau 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 BookReviews" ."Your readers will eat this one up." - "Library Journal"
"Fans of European sleuths with a taste for good food ... will have fun." - "PW"
"French-set mysteries have never been more popular [and] among the very best is a series set in Provence featuring Monsieur Verlaque, an examining magistrate, and his sometime girlfriend, law professor Marine Bonnet." - "The Denver Post"
"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 "
