Murder mystery story

Great for a long drive / want to learn French now. Love mysteries that we can’t figure out fast.

main character painfully immature

the main character was immature, repetative and self centered, ruined what could have been an enjoyable story

Murder a la Carte?

At the end the plot gelled nicely, but it took sooo long to get there. The “French” accents were annoying because the varied from inaudible to weird having no resemblance to a French speaker at all. The characters were whiney, contrived, and very unsympathetic. The food sounded wonderful. The amount of alcohol consumed would have everyone terribly ill and nonfunctional. The setting was wonderful. Who can resist a vineyard in Provence? But the author made a mockery of winemaking. Harvesting grapes and having drinkable wine two weeks later is a real stretch of reality. This series is off my menu. This book was a waste of time.
