The Secrets of the Bastide Blanche: A Provencal Mystery

Mehr zum Buch

One hot summer night, Aix-en-Provence is aflutter with news that controversial author Val?re Barbier, who once shared dinners with French presidents and all-night drinking bouts with rock stars, has moved into La Bastide Blanche, a grand house left empty for decades. But Val?re's ideas of a peaceful retirement are quickly dashed. Rambunctious neighborhood children, a fast-talking gossip of a housekeeper, and a rival novelist filter through the home at all hours of the day -- and by night there are unseen visitors with more sinister intentions.
