M.L. Longworth recently talked on Criminal Element about mysteries set in small towns. Her latest mystery, A Noël Killing, the eighth volume of her Verlaque and Bonnet series, is set in Aix-en-Provence.
The description of the city, with its famous places, streets, plazas, and restaurants, and of the food offered there, is nicely done.
VERDICT: If you want to try a Christmas mystery with a Provence setting, you may find A Noël Killing enjoyable.
It was too slow for me, and as I notice the same criticism applied by other readers to the first book in this series, I don’t think I’ll stay in the company of Verlaque and Bonnet. Joyeux Noël !

The setting sounds fine but a slow mystery? I don’t think so.

Yes, when you have to wait so long for the crime, it’s a bit of a stretch, I think
