Murder in Provence: A French Country Village New Marriage Mystery (The Maggie Newberry Mystery Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

This book takes you further into the sleepy little French town of St-Buvard, where Maggie and Laurent discover not one but four murders to spice up their tenure in Provence. The wine, the food, the scenery and sexy French chef and winemaker Laurent make the journey a very palatable one indeed!

A year spent living in the south of France is not all it’s cracked up to be—especially when you have no job, a prickly first year of marriage, and your new BFF is murdered virtually before your eyes. Maggie Newberry is determined to help the investigations into Brigitte’s murder even if the incredibly sexy and very available French police detective on the case can only complicate her life in every possible way. Murder in Provence is set in the ancient city of Arles and, like the other books in the series, showcases the sights and mouthwatering cuisine of Provence—with a healthy dash of murder.

Murder in Provence, A Maggie Newberry Mystery, by Susan Kiernan-LewisI read the first book in this series, Murder in the South of France, and to be honest when I started this, I wondered if I had read it before. A woman, married to a French vintner, discovers who murders the daughter of a friend, plus a few other people.But there are some additional twists in this story. The narrator's own marriage is in jeopardy and she has to decide whether she likes France or America more.There are too many characters who all seem to be sleeping around, but I like the way food is a subtext. The turns in the plot keep the pages turnning and the ending proves satisfying.I give the author credit for going into marriage, love, daughters, friends and different nationalities. Would I want more? After a satisfying meal, no one wants anything else (at least until the next one).-J. Lehman, RosebudBookReviews.com

3.0 out of 5 stars Maggie and Laurent have gotten married
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021

This is the third book in this series of cozy mysteries involving Maggie Newberry, an American living in Provence with her now husband, Laurent. There is a very strong overall story arc to this series so in order to understand what is happening at all begin at the beginning and read the series in order.

Maggie and Laurent have decided to make it official and married. Their family, friends and neighbors are all quite pleased with this but Maggie and Laurent still have some decisions to make. Laurent is quite happy to be vintner living in the Provence but Maggie still would prefer to return to Atlanta and her life as an advertising copywriter. When her best friend, Grace, announces that she and her family are returning to the States Maggie is more convinced that ever that she will never be happy in France. Once again though Maggie becomes involved in assisting the police to solve a murder and of course, endangers herself in the process.

This novel, like the rest of the series, has a great deal of promise. Unfortunately the lack of attention to detail by the author and editor (if there even is an editor), detracts from this promise. Characters are frustratingly inconsistent, even changing eye color and height at random. Their motivations are unclear, even irrational at times. It is too bad because this series could be so very much better.

I’m a big fan of the Maggie Newberry mysteries. The descriptions of life in the small French village are delightful and make me ling to go back to France. I’ve given this one four stars for two reasons. Maggie is quite unpleasant in the first half of of the book, petulant and childish. Her demeanor improved and the story along with it. The mystery was a bit light while the murders were not.

This is a good book Maggie is trying to help the French police find out who is the murderer. All leads are leading to some one else then in the nick of time Maggie figures it out. Again I did not have a clue who was doing it. The author can really write a real spell binding book. I will be reading more of her books.

If you want to wander round the south of France and not be bothered by actual facts then you could read this on the beach where you would forget it in 30 secs. The writing is sloppy and so full of inaccuracies that its quite fun to read if just to find yet another one. If you don't live in the place don't write about it
