When her boyfriend inherits an ancient vineyard in France, Maggie Newberry quits her job in Atlanta to accompany him for a year abroad. They settle in the tiny village of St-Buvard, but murder has gone long before them and follows close behind.
Murder a la Carte brings Atlanta copywriter Maggie Newberry to the brink of two connected murders--both committed in her home--and both poised to threaten everything she holds dear. When Maggie agrees to move to France with her boyfriend--a French ex-confidence man who has just inherited a house and vineyard--she doesn't expect her year of French market shopping and weekend trips to Paris to be interrupted by a vicious murder in her living room. Or that the bloody violence that occurred on their front doorstep sixty years earlier after the end of the Second World War might be connected.
(Bonus: Laurent's classic Buche de Noel recipe is at the end of the book!)
This book is a clean read: no graphic violence, sex or strong language
